“…In most hatchery applications the exact requirement of microalgal biomass composition is still not completely known. Most hatcheries achieve the required dietary composition by mixing multiple microalgal species [7,[17][18][19], or by finding a strain that performs best in the selected application [20][21][22]. The nutritional value of microalgae for aquaculture applications is mostly attributed to the content of omega-3 fatty acids.…”

“…The preference for the modular systems is evident from their widespread use in aquaculture studies in literature that require live microalgae [111][112][113][114][115]. This could be due to the preference for a mixed diet in most aquaculture hatcheries [7,[17][18][19]. The total required biomass capacity at aquaculture hatcheries could also impact the decision.…”

“…The techno-economic model developed in Chapter 2 describes the cost price of microalgae production in aquaculture hatcheries for two different production systems (bubble-columns and tubular photobioreactors), each under two light conditions (artificial light and sunlight). The results of Chapter 2 give an in depth analysis of the cost price in the different production methods.Bubble-columns represent labor intensive, traditionally applied production systems still widely used in aquaculture today[7,[17][18][19]. The scale up of these systems is based on increasing the number of individual reactor units.…”

Copepods are alternative live feed in marine fish hatcheries, and the quality and type of micro‐algal diets influence their culture productivity. Three algal species of different groups including prymnesiophyte: Isochrysis galbana (Iso), the diatom: Chaetoceros muelleri (Cht) and eustigmatophyte: Nannochloropsis occulata (Nan) were fed to the calanoid copepod Acartia bilobata. Selected algae were offered as mono‐algal diets: T1‐Iso, T2‐Cht and T3‐Nan or as mixed algal diets: T4‐Nan + Cht, T5‐Nan + Iso, T6‐Iso + Cht and T7‐Iso + Cht + Nan. Reproductive parameters, egg production, hatching success, nauplii and copepodite survival, development and first maturity, were closely monitored. Results illustrated that I. galbana was the most suitable diet for this copepod species, supporting higher average relative egg production (5631.62 ± 133.49 egg L−1 day−1), hatching success (96.32 ± 1.40%) and superior adult survival (44.44 ± 3.20%). Different algal diets influenced the nauplii and copepodite survival rate. Maximum survival to adults (56.67 ± 3.78%) and shortened development time (5.75 ± 0.12 days) and time to first maturity (4.50 ± 0.12 days) were observed when fed with I. galbana. The groups fed with C. muelleri exhibited lower survival (6.67 ± 0.67%) during development into adults, and the group fed with N. occulata alone or with C. muelleri did not survived till the adults. Amongst seven algal diets tested, I. galbana was found ideal for maximizing culture productivity, and hence recommended for intensive culture of A. bilobata.
