The nutritional value of spirulina in aquafeeds has been studied extensively as a fishmeal replacer or as a functional feed additive to increase growth and health performance of fish in the last decade. Despite increased interest in spirulina research in aquaculture, its increased production cost still limits its use in commercial rations. Zarrouk’s medium is the standard substrate used for growing spirulina. Although this medium offers optimal biomass production, it incurs higher costs due to the expensive components needed for concocting the medium. In this regard, development of cost‐effective alternative culture medium or techniques is necessary for the industrial‐scale production of these microalgae. This paper reviews research on different alternative media for spirulina cultivation and its nutritive value as an aquafeed. Numerous alterations in the composition of Zarrouk’s medium with cheaper chemical ingredients have been explored as a potential substitute for cost‐effective microalgae cultivation. Industrial and processing wastes and by‐products with appropriate nutrient profiles for growing spirulina are also being considered as alternative culture media. The use of rice bran or other cheaper agricultural by‐products, as a cost‐effective growth medium for commercial‐scale spirulina production has yet to be explored extensively in agriculture‐based countries, especially in rice‐producing Asian countries.

“…Each column can be used for at least 10 successive analyses without considerable change in metal ions recovery. The detection limits of analytes are superior to those of preconcentration techniques for analyses [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. The good features of the proposed method showed that it's a convenient and low cost one.…”

“…Each column can be used for at least 15 successive analyses without any substantial change in metal ion recovery. The detection limits for the analytes studied are superior to those of other preconcentration techniques that have been used for analyses [52,53]. The proposed method is thus convenient and economical.…”

A method of separation and preconcentration for the determination of Zn, Cu, and Mn in natural water was described and real samples studied using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The method is based on the adsorption of Mn 2+ , Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ onto 3-((1H-Indol-3-yl)(3-nitrophenol)methyl)-1H indole (INMI) that is loaded onto Triton X-100-coated polyvinyl chloride. The effects of pH, reagent amount, sample volume and matrix of the sample on the sorption of metal ions were also investigated. Detection limits (3 SDb/m) of 1.9, 2.1 and 1.8 ng mL −1 for Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ and Mn 2+ along with a preconcentration factor of 270 for these ions were achieved. We demonstrated highly efficient solid phase extraction for the determination of analytes in complex matrices. The proposed procedure was applied to analyses of industrial, natural and waste water as well as to those of soil and fruit samples.
