Microalgae are a source of diverse high-value compounds, such as carotenoids and fatty acids, which have potential application in aquafeeds. Some microalgae species present complex cell wall structures, make them poorly digestible, thus limiting their use feed ingredient. Consequently, applying extracted compounds to aquafeeds instead using the whole algal biomass is advantageous this expected increase bioavailability these nutrients. The aim study was evaluate effect dietary inclusion (2%)...

Microalgae are essential for most aquaculture hatcheries as first-feed larvae. Even so, high labour costs and risk of production crashes have encouraged the search fresh culture substitutes, such microalgae concentrates. Despite their importance a commodity sector, concentrates not available worldwide, consolidated knowledge is scarce. Therefore, this bibliographic study aimed review products hatcheries, identifying research gaps suggesting opportunities development. In studies, cultures...

Abstract Microalgae of the genus Nannochloropsis are highly valued in aquaculture due to their protein, fatty acid, and carotenoid content, offering potential as additives or substitutes for fish meal oil. However, large-scale production encounters challenges, particularly concerning culture medium. Thus, this study aimed assess impact substituting artificial sea salt with common standard medium agricultural fertilizer oculata production. Initially, effects reduced salinity were evaluated at...
