in order to increase A review of the application of microalgae as aquafeed the productivity of aquaculture products
Nowadays, sea foods are considered to provide more than 50% of the nutritional demands of human communities. Therefore, with the development of the seafood market, the aquaculture industry continues to grow day by day. Currently, some aquaculture food ingredients are made from low price fishes (in the form of fish powder) and plants. But, the production of fish powder cannot be increased due to disruption of the stability of aquatic ecosystems; Therefore, alternative and environmentally friendly sources should be developed for aquaculture food ingredients. Microalgae biomass suggests as a natural source instead of fish powder because the cellular metabolites of these microorganisms contain a combination of essential amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and pigments. In addition to these unique properties and bioactive compounds that are a major component of aquatic nutrition, microalgae can increase the survival of farmed species, and improve the color and quality of fillets. Microalgae have the highest biomass productivity among photosynthetic organisms, including forage crops, and therefore have high commercial potential. Also, the production of microalgae does not require special arable land and freshwater resources, which makes the feed based on microalgae contribute to environmental sustainability. This article is a review of studies on the potential and application of microalgae in aquatic nutrition to increase the productivity of aquaculture products.
