In 2017, field experiments were performed to examine the effect of laver density in laver culture nets on yield-related traits, such as laver thallus length and dried laver quality. Thallus length under high-density conditions was significantly shorter and harvest weight was lower than those under normal-density and low-density conditions. Free amino acid, such as glutamic acid, content was significantly inversely related with laver density. The number of chewing strokes needed to masticate dried laver produced under high-density conditions was greater than that needed for low-density dried laver. The results obtained in the present study suggest that yield and quality traits, such as tasting scores of dried laver, are significantly inversely related with laver culture density.
