'''''Porphyra''''' is a coldwater [[seaweed]] that grows in cold, shallow [[seawater]]. More specifically, it belongs to [[red algae]] phylum of [[Laver (seaweed)|laver]] species, comprising approximately 70 species.<ref name="Brodie 02">Brodie, J.A. and Irvine, L.M. 2003. ''Seaweeds of the British Isles.'' Volume 1 Part 3b. The Natural History Museum, London.{{ISBN|1 898298 87 4}}</ref> It grows in the [[intertidal zone]], typically between the upper intertidal zone and the splash zone in cold waters of temperate oceans. In East Asia, it is used to produce the [[seaweed|sea vegetable]] products ''[[nori]]'' (in Japan) and ''[[Gim (food)|gim]]'' (in Korea). There are considered to be 60 to 70 species of ''Porphyra'' worldwide<ref name="Kain 91">Kain, J.M. 1991. Cultivation of attached seaweeds. in Guiry, M.D. and Blunden, G. 1992.

==Life cycle==
''Porphyra'' displays a heteromorphic [[alternation of generations]].<ref>[http://www.mbari.org/staff/conn/botany/reds/lisa/lhist.htm Porphyra life cycle]</ref> The [[thallus]] we see is the [[Ploidy|haploid]] generation; it can reproduce asexually by forming [[spore]]s which grow to replicate the original thallus. It can also reproduce sexually. Both male and female [[gamete]]s are formed on the one thallus. The female gametes while still on the thallus are fertilized by the released male gametes, which are non-motile. The fertilized, now [[Ploidy|diploid]], carposporangia after [[mitosis]] produce spores ([[carpospore]]s) which settle, then bore into shells, germinate and form a filamentous stage.  This stage was originally thought to be a different species of alga, and was referred to as ''Conchocelis rosea''. That ''Conchocelis'' was the [[Ploidy|diploid]] stage of ''Porphyra'' was discovered by the British [[phycology|phycologist]] [[Kathleen Mary Drew-Baker]] in 1949 for the [[Europe]]an species ''[[Laver (seaweed)|Porphyra umbilicalis]]''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1= Drew |first1= Kathleen M. |year=1949 |title= Conchocelis-phase in the life-history of Porphyra umbilicalis (L.)

==Food==
Most human cultures with access to ''Porphyra'' use it as a food or somehow in the diet, making it perhaps the most domesticated of the marine algae,<ref name="Mumford 88">Mumford, T.F. and Miura, A.  4.''Porphyra'' as food: cultivation and economics. in Lembi, C.A. and Waaland, J.R. 1988.

In Japan, the annual production of ''Porphyra'' species is valued at 100 billion [[Japanese yen|yen]] (US$1 billion).<ref name="Aoki 06">Aoki, Y. and Kamei, Y. 2006 Preparation of recombinant polysaccharide-degrading enzymes from the marine bacterium, ''Pseudomonas'' sp.

Following a major reassessment of the  genus in 2011, many species previously included in ''Porphyra'' have been transferred to ''[[Pyropia]]'', for example ''[[Pyropia tenera]]'', ''[[Pyropia yezoensis]]'' and the species from New Zealand ''[[Pyropia rakiura]]'' and ''[[Pyropia virididentata]]'', leaving only five species out of seventy still within ''Porphyra'' itself.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Sutherland|title=A NEW LOOK AT AN ANCIENT ORDER: GENERIC REVISION OF THE BANGIALES (RHODOPHYTA)|journal=J.
