The control of temperature and light intensity in microalgae culture in outdoor tanks is difficult. Progress in algal biotechnology and the use of photo-bioreactors, metabolic engineering and other advances supported development of a novel underwater light bank reactor that allows for more effective light utilization by cultured microalgae.
Health & Welfare
Promoting water circulation during the day time is an effective strategy to enrich pond water with oxygen produced by photosynthesis, and can significantly reduce the costs of night time supplemental aeration.
Health & Welfare
A growth trial in Canada evaluated the use of algae biomass to increase the concentration of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the tissues of rainbow trout.

About 30 percent of global microalgae production goes to animal feeds, with large applications in aquaculture, particularly for larval stages.
Health & Welfare
Large-scale Gracilaria cultivation can be an effective means of improving water quality and promoting a more sustainable mariculture industry in China.
Health & Welfare
As part of the development of rearing procedures at the first commercial marine fish hatchery in Venezuela, a study induced spawning of lane snappers and evaluated the survival of larvae fed rotifers, two microalgae species and enriched artemia.
Health & Welfare
The entrapment, storage and processing of microalgae into alginate beads is a useful technology for stock culture management.
