Looking for Gracilaria supplier

[croaker]

I hope it is ok to post this here but I don't know who better to ask then all of you industry experts.

I need a large amount of Gracilaria for a research project so is there a wholesaler or someone that you guys know of that I should contact? Who do you get your tang food from if you don't mind me asking? Anyone know how much this stuff goes for in large quatities? I'm looking at several hundred pounds a month for this project.

Thanks so much!

Do you want cultured or wild?

 

[croaker]

Cultured I guess. I will double check with my boss though because it may not matter. Is cultured going to cost more per lb since it will be "cleaner" I imagine?

call ORA, i'm pretty sure they have gobs of the stuff available (or they used to, heh)

ORA doesn't sell to the public - the original poster wasn't specific if he/she is a consumer or in the trade.

If you aren't in the trade and your LFS orders from ORA, they should be able to get it for you.

I would think that he seems to be in research, If so, I can put them in contact with the right people to get cultured or wild macro, at what ever amount they need to do their study.
