| Taiwan China (XTW) Coastline 1,566 km Taiwan has centuries-old traditions of seaplant utilisation and it is a leading developer of aquaculture technology. We do not have statistics that enable us to distinguish between Taiwan production and production from the rest of China but for the genera indicated we believe that Taiwan is a significant contributor. |
