It’d be more like ordering vegetable seeds
The technology would give farmers the ability to identify traits in adult kelp that they find desirable — such as wide blades, short stipes, or a particular flavor — and essentially recreate those characteristics season after season by outplanting the same seed
Instead of housing racks of aquariums filled with seedspools, a kelp hatchery using this technique might look more similar to phytoplankton lab
Seeding from gametophyte cultures would also give farmers more control on the timing of when they plant their crops
