Journal ArticleDOI
Intertidal macroalgae as refuge and food for amphipoda in Central Chile
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that mobile amphipods can combine the use of algal resources as a refuge with the use as food, because they can separate their use in space and time.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The extract of phlorotannins has potential as medicinal foods or therapeutics for human health applications and has been reported in the literature to have an antidiabetic effect and prevention of Alzheimer's disease for phloroeckol, and free radical scavenging ability and antiallergic effect for tetrameric phloroglucinol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long Term Variability in the Structure of Kelp Communities in Northern Chile and the 1997–98 ENSO
TL;DR: This is the first study on the south eastern Pacific coast of South America which details long term, interannual variability in the structure of subtidal rocky-bottom kelp-dominated communities before, during, and after the El Niño Southern Oscillation event of 1997–1998 in northern Chile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seaweed future cultivation in Chile: perspectives and challenges
TL;DR: An important trend towards diversification of seaweed exploitation and cultivation has developed and the demand for brown algal materials for the alginate industry, abalone cultivation, seaweed flour production for human and animal feeding and the development of novel food products has encouraged the farming of Macrocystis pyrifera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population biology of the subtidal kelps Macrocystis integrifolia and Lessonia trabeculata (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae) in an upwelling ecosystem of northern Chile: interannual variability and El Niño 1997-1998
TL;DR: The authors describe a biologia poblacional of Macrocystis integrifolia and Lessonia trabeculata in Chile, in an area of surgencia costera permanente.
