“…Several publications over the years revealed that utilising live microalgae as feed ingredients significantly increase growth, feeding efficiency, innate immunity and defence mechanism of aquatic animals 118,294–297 . Microalgae are able to synthesise polysaccharides and stimulate the digestive enzymes and non‐specific immune system 298–300 . Live microalgae such as Chaetoceros is widely used as a feed for larviculture because of their tiny size, high nutritional value, faster growth rate and easiness in culturing 301–303 .…”

Utilising novel ingredients in aquafeeds is necessary for the continued expansion and intensification of aquaculture production. Microalgae are utilised widely in aquaculture for a variety of purposes; as live feed for fish and shellfish larvae and juveniles, for the production of algae‐based meals and oils to replace marine derived raw materials in aquafeeds, and for the production of astaxanthin, the carotenoid that gives salmon flesh its characteristic reddish colour. Notably, long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, fibres, antioxidant pigments, vitamins and minerals are among the compounds in microalgae with great biological value. A growing collection of experimental data has demonstrated that these substances are crucial for increasing larval survival and enhancing the growth and well‐being of fish and shellfish. In this review, the processing of microalgae utilised as aquafeed ingredient, the health promoting compounds in microalgae and their role in growth, immunity and disease resistance of fish and shellfish are described and discussed. Simultaneously, major hurdles in the commercial use of microalgae in aquafeed, and future research and development perspectives are all critically discussed.

“…At present, polysaccharides have been used in food, cosmetics, soap and in other ways. 144 In the future, polysaccharides could also be used as the encapsulation membrane of microencapsulated drugs and so on. 145 In conclusion, this review clarifies the relationship between the structure and biological activity of polysaccharides and summarizes the effects of different preparation methods on the determination of polysaccharides' activity and structure, with a view to making it convenient for relevant researchers to prepare and analyze biopolymers according to experimental purposes.…”

“…However, substitutes, as first and second-generation biofuel production, demand fertile soils, which is associated with rising food costs. In this way, microalgae-based biofuels have advantages compared to first and second-generation biofuels due to their ability to grow in unsuitable land for agriculture, more significant photosynthetic activity compared to terrestrial plants, and potential to use inputs from residual sources such as gaseous and aqueous effluents [4,5].…”

This work aimed to assess the carbon footprint of microalgae biomass processing in hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) to produce biopetroleum and co-products. The foreground inventory covered the cultivation in open ponds with availability (C1) and limitation (C2) of nutrients, followed by harvesting and processing in HTL for 1 kg of microalgae biomass in total solids. The ecoinvent™ 3.6 databases and IPCC- 2021 GWP 100 years method were used for background inventory and impact indicator in openLCA® 1.11.0. The carbon footprint of C1 (1.1 kg CO2eq) was more significant than that of C2 (0.7 kg CO2eq). The most considerable carbon footprint contribution per stage was the Production stage (cultivation and harvesting), with 64%-88%, in the evaluated scenarios. In comparison, this per process was the fertilizer (71%) in C1 and the heat (32%) in C2.
