   III. Translate into Russian using a dictionary.
                            Harvesting and Processing
    Harvesting time is determined by the thickness of the Laminaria fronds. A
ratio of fresh weight to dry weight of 6,5:1 is considered a good indication of
optimum thickness. Usually, Laminaria fronds on the upper parts of culture
ropes are harvested first while those remaining continue growing until they
reach the desired thickness. Harvested kelp are immediately transported to the
processing area.
    The primary processed products of Laminaria are dried kelp and salted kelp.
Sun-dried kelp, after removal of contaminants, is graded, packed, and marketed
either for direct consumption or for further processing. Dried kelp may be utilised
for extracting iodine, algin and mannitol. A wide variety of food items which are
popular with consumers is processed from Laminaria. Livestock fodder, bonding
agents, feed additives and other items are derived from Laminaria. In China,
products derived from Laminaria are consumed domestically, only a small pro-
