He devoted his entire life studying seaweeds from two perspectives: flora and the development of seaweed mariculture in Japan.

Among them 'Illustrations of Marine Algae of Japan' and seven volumes of 'Icons of Japanese Algae' most sought after even today.

 A well-known protein source is the only scope to develop Immunity against wide-spreading viral fever People around the world are panic about the spreading of viral fever. Doctors and researchers are finding a way to cure the disease. But from childhood, everyone would have heard the proverb “Prevention is better than Cure”. I feel as a common public everyone should take responsibility to prevent them from viral infection. To prevent viral infection the best-suggested things are to be home, wear masks, maintain hygiene, take a healthy diet and do exercise. In this article, we would like to request everyone to add Blue-green algae to their diet to prevent getting infected by the high spreading viral fever.  Kindly read the full article for more information regarding on what basis we are suggesting this.          Alga  Arthrospira platensis  (widely known as spirulina) cultivated globally and consumed for its protein and vitamin-rich constituents.
