The potential of microalgae as fish feed

There is an growing interest in finding alternatives to fish meal and fish oil in compound feeds. Microalgae could be such an alternative. Microalgae are increasingly being studied as an alternative to fishmeal in aquafeed production. Their net biomass productivity is higher than that of any other terrestrial plant or animal. Unlike land-based plants, there is no need for microalgae to grow in fertile land. Further, microalgae can be cultivated using seawater or wastewater. The nutrient requi
