Isochrysis

StarStarStarStar

A golden-brown microalgae important in mariculture, especially in the hatchery stage of bivalves, due to its DHA content.

StarStarStarStar

Nori (Porphyra species)

StarStarStarStar

Red algae commonly cultivated for human consumption, also incorporated into feeds for various aquaculture species.

StarStarStarStar

Haematococcus pluvialis

StarStarStarStar

Freshwater algae known for producing astaxanthin, a compound used in fish feed to enhance coloration, especially in salmonids.

StarStarStarStar

Porphyridium

StarStarStarStar

Unicellular red algae used for producing polysaccharides and pigments, with potential applications in aquaculture as a feed additive.

StarStarStarStar

Artemia

StarStarStarStar

Not an algae, but a brine shrimp commonly used in conjunction with algae in aquaculture as a primary feed for larval stages.

StarStarStarStar

Dunaliella salina

StarStarStarStar

Microalgae that accumulates large amounts of beta-carotene, used as a natural colorant and antioxidant in aquaculture feeds.

StarStarStarStar

Chaetoceros

StarStarStarStar

A genus of diatoms frequently used in aquaculture as feed, particularly for larval stages of mollusks and crustaceans due to their size and nutritional value.

StarStarStarStar

Tetraselmis

StarStarStarStar

A green flagellate algae used as live feed in hatcheries, especially for bivalve mollusks, due to its nutritional profile.

StarStarStarStar

Pavlova

StarStarStarStar

A small golden algae used as live feed for a variety of aquaculture species due to its balanced nutritional profile.

StarStarStarStar

Chlorella

StarStarStarStar

A green microalgae used in biotechnology for its ability to bio-accumulate heavy metals and as a superfood.

StarStarStarStar

Phaeodactylum tricornutum

StarStarStarStar

A diatom valuable for its high EPA content and use in feeds for bivalves and crustaceans.

StarStarStarStar

Schizochytrium

StarStarStarStar

A genus of marine microalgae cultivated for its high DHA content, used in feed formulations to enhance the omega-3 fatty acid content.

StarStarStarStar

Caulerpa

StarStarStarStar

A green macroalgae noted for its invasive potential, but also utilized as a natural food source for fish and a decorative element in aquaria.

StarStarStarStar

Kelp (Laminaria species)

StarStarStarStar

Large brown marine algae used as a feed additive, biofuel source, and bioremediator in aquaculture systems.

StarStarStarStar

Euchema

StarStarStarStar

A type of red algae farmed for carrageenan, a substance used as a thickening agent in food and in aquaculture feeds.

StarStarStarStar

Spirulina

StarStarStarStar

A cyanobacteria rich in protein and nutrients, often used as a supplement in aquafeed.

StarStarStarStar

Ulva (Sea Lettuce)

StarStarStarStar

Green macroalgae often used as a biofilter in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture systems, absorbing excess nutrients from water.

StarStarStarStar

Cyanobacteria

StarStarStarStar

Photosynthetic bacteria that can be both useful and harmful in aquaculture, used selectively in some systems for nitrogen fixation and biomass production.

StarStarStarStar

Nannochloropsis

StarStarStarStar

A genus of microalgae high in EPA, a fatty acid valuable for fish nutrition and commonly used in larval rearing stages.

StarStarStarStar

Gracilaria

StarStarStarStar

Red algae cultured for the extraction of agar, a gelling agent, and occasionally used directly in herbivorous fish diets.
