The objective of the MACROSEA project is to facilitate industrial scale cultivation of seaweed in Norway. To achieve efficient large scale cultivation, development of cultivation technology is an important component, and in Work Package 5 - Seed/ing, Deployment and Harvest Technology- the objective is to identify requirements and bottlenecks for industrial scale seedling production systems, and evaluate and develop concepts for deployment and harvest operations. In order to understand the limitations and potential of today's cultivation methods, an initial work has been undertaken to get an overview of the methods used by today's producers. The opinions of the producers on future challenges and bottlenecks have also been requested. This report summarizes the questions that were asked of the producers, and the answers received.
