Lessonia corrugata is a species of kelp, a brown algae in the genus Lessonia, commonly known as strapweed, common crapweed[citation needed], or Tasmanian kombu. It is a subtidal species endemic to Tasmania and southern Victoria, Australia, and is the least studied of the only three Laminarian kelps in the region.[1] The species was first described by Arthur Henry Shakespeare Lucas in 1931,[2] and is most closely related to the New Zealand species Lessonia variegata.[3]
Lessonia corrugata is a dominant species in some Tasmanian kelp forests,[4] but remains poorly studied. It is currently being developed for use in aquaculture, to produce food, feed, kelp biomass, and for environmental remediation purposes in IMTA finfish farms.[1][5] However, it has also been identified as highly vulnerable to ocean warming.[6][5]
