Exploitation

The algae is harvested by the company BioMolenez. Chondrus algaes are found below the mid-tide level in calm to rough waters.

Harvesting is done by hand, without tools, from a coefficient of about 70. Once harvested, the seaweed is macerated and filtered to obtain an extract containing a maximum of bioactive compounds.

Mainly found in the cold coastal waters of the North Atlantic, especially in the coastal regions of North America (such as Canada and the United States) and Europe (such as the UK and Norway). It is often found in areas exposed to waves and strong currents.

Temperature tolerance: 0 to 20
