Kelps grow in the ocean, which is why they get their name. From a worldwide perspective, the distribution of kelp is relatively wide, both in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Because kelp likes low temperature environment, it is more distributed in cold water area. Kelp grows in different places. Wild kelp generally grows on rocks, while cultured kelp generally grows on ropes prepared by human beings.
Where does kelp grow? Does it grow in the deep sea?

1. Where

does kelp grow? Kelp is one of the marine organisms and is very common in life. The edible value and nutritional value of kelp are relatively high, and there are many kelp sold on the market. From the name of kelp, we can see their living environment and appearance characteristics, that is, growing in the sea, the appearance is like a relatively long belt. From a worldwide perspective, the distribution of kelp is very wide, in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean have a very wide distribution. The specific sea area where kelp grows is closely related to their habits and characteristics. For example, they are more sensitive to water temperature and like to live in cold water. Therefore, there are fewer kelps growing in places with high temperatures. Most kelps live in high latitudes, that is, in the northern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean.

In addition, different kelps grow in different places. If the kelp is wild, then they basically grow on the rocks. With a structure called a holdfast, the sea can attach its body to other objects. Kelp can also be cultured artificially, and when they are cultured, they are usually in the sea area, so the kelp usually grows on the rocks.

2. Does kelp grow in the deep sea? As mentioned

above, kelp is a creature living in the ocean, and it is widely distributed in cold water. From the depth of the sea area where kelp grows, kelp is mostly distributed in shallow sea areas and does not live in deep sea areas. Specifically, kelp is relatively common near the low tide line. The same is true of artificial cultivation of kelp, which is generally cultivated in shallow waters. Especially in places with good water quality, clear sea water and appropriate flow rate, kelp cultivation is more suitable.
