Sea lace (Chorda filum): world-first rope cultivation

We were first in the world to cultivate Chorda filum on ropes — available as a seeded line.

Sea lace (Chorda filum) is a brown seaweed with long, unbranched, cord-like strands. Seaweed Lines was first in the world to cultivate Chorda filum on ropes, and we now supply it as a seeded line.

A world-first crop

Chorda filum has rarely been farmed because its biology makes rope cultivation difficult. After several seasons of work we developed a reliable method, opening up a novel seaweed with a distinctive texture for chefs and a new subject for research.

Growing sea lace

Like our other lines, sea lace is grown from native mother plants in our hatchery and delivered as a ready-to-deploy seeded line. It is fast-growing and best deployed before the water warms.
