Microalgae play a crucial nutritional role for the marine animals. Phytoplankton is the basis of the marine food chain. Most marine invertebrates depend on microalgae for their whole life cycle.
Microalgae are used in aquaculture hatcheries for fish, shrimp, and shellfish larviculture, especially for live-prey cultivation and enrichment of Rotifers and Artemia. Microalgae may be also used to perform the Green Water Technique widely reported as improving fish larvae growth, survival, and feed ingestion, to develop the immunological system, pigmentation and swim bladder function. It has also been reported that the Green Water Technique has positive effect on the stabilization of water quality within the rearing tanks.
Microalgae also present unique opportunities as functional ingredients for pet food applications as a source of protein, fatty acids (Omega 3 EPA and DHA), antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They can improve intestinal health, the shine and strength of the coat and activate the immune system of animals and are beneficial for various health conditions such as inflammation, skin and kidneys diseases and osteoarthritis.

Grant agreement ID: 101000501
Goal: Algae4IBD aims to develop functional food and medication against pain, inflammation and IBD from marine and freshwater micro and macroalgae (seaweed).
Period: June 2021 – May 2025
Funding Scheme: Horizon Europe
Grant agreement ID: 101060991
Goal: REALM will transform nutrient-rich drain waters from soilless farms into value, by producing microalgae at reduced costs while treating water and capturing CO2 from the air. This concept will increase the circularity and profitability of microalgal production and soilless farming.
Coordinator: Necton
Period: July 2022 – June 2026
