description <i>Calliblepharis jubata</i> is an edible red seaweed and a carrageenan primary producer, considered native in Figueira da Foz (Portugal). <i>C. jubata</i> has the particularity of producing only one kind of carrageenan, the iota fraction. However, this seaweed is not yet valuable for the food industry or even for human consumption. In this work, we characterize important biochemical compounds of <i>C. jubata</i> growing up within different cultivation techniques and wild specimens. The aim of this work is to know if there are differences between the biological compounds of interest and identify the advantages for human consumption and the food industry. The results supported the nutritional value of the seaweed, where the ones from inshore cultivation (T) were more identical to the wild specimens (F), than the indoor <i>C. jubata</i> (A, B, C). The parameters analyzed were fatty acids, carbohydrates and carrageenan content.
