“…However, algae-like spirulina were shown to cause a yellow coloration of the fillet colour in trout (Roohani et al, 2019;Teimouri et al, 2013). In Italian trout farms, an unusual yellow flesh coloration occurs during spring and summer times, induced by algae (Cladophora glomerata) resulting in high economic losses due to the reduced acceptability to consumers (Welker et al, 2001).…”

The current trend in aquaculture is moving towards the more intensive production of carnivorous fish (Bostock et al., 2010), whose main protein source is fishmeal (Teles et al., 2019). Carnivorous fish have a dietary protein demand between 40% and 55%, higher than that of the herbivorous or omnivorous fish species with 25%-35%, (National Research Council, 2011). Considering this trend, and the predicted further increase in global aquaculture production (World Bank, 2013), an even higher demand on fishmeal for aquafeed can be expected. Despite the strict reduction of fishmeal in aquafeed over the past years, the change to full supplementation with alternative protein sources has shown to lead to reduced growth performance and health issues in fish (Teles et al., 2019).Algae recently gained attention as potential supplements for fishmeal (Rosas et al., 2019). Microalgae/cyanobacteria such as

“…In previous studies, the luminosity (L*), redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) was found to be higher in SP-fed trout fillets [18,29]. Although the presence of carotenoids in the fillet could represent a sort of value adding in terms of their nutraceutical properties [30], the trade-off might be a decreased consumer acceptance due to an unfamiliar coloring effect [31].…”

Total Replacement of Fishmeal by Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) and Its Effect on Growth Performance and Product Quality of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)

et al. 2021

Microalgae are increasingly being studied to replace fishmeal in aquafeed production. Low level Spirulina supplementation to various fish species has been widely investigated, demonstrating enhanced growth and better product quality. In order to evaluate the effects of a full fishmeal replacement with Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) on growth and product quality in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus), two isoenergetic diets were formulated and fed for ten weeks to 120 fish with an average initial weight of 50 ± 3 g. Full supplementation of Spirulina resulted in reduced growth (p < 0.001) whereas feed conversion ratio was on par (p > 0.05). Furthermore, Spirulina-fed fish showed a more intense yellow coloration in skin, and raw and cooked fillet (p < 0.001). The analysis of fatty acids revealed higher proportions of C16:0 (p < 0.001) and C18:2n6 (p < 0.05) in fish fed the Spirulina-diet while C24:0 (p < 0.01) and C20:5n3 (p < 0.001) were found to be higher in the control group. Even though no statistically significant differences in the overall SFA, MUFA and PUFA were detected, a slight increase of the n6/n3 ratio was observed in the Spirulina-fed fish. Without further optimization of the feed ration, a complete fishmeal replacement with Spirulina can lead to economic losses. It remains to be studied whether the observed changes in product quality affect consumer acceptance.
