“…warrants the potential applicability of the microalga as an aqua feed. Others have reported that no significant difference in the GST levels was recorded in Clarias gariepinus and Dicentrarchus labrax when fed with fishmeal supplemented with microalgal species such as Spirulina platensis, Chlorella vulgaris, Gracilaria spp., Ulva spp., Fucus spp., respectively (Raji et al 2018;Peixoto et al 2016). However, incorporation of animal protein sources, i.e., cricket meal and housefly maggot meal in the diets of Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus resulted in higher GST levels than the fishmeal diets alone (Ogunji et al 2007;Taufek et al 2016).…”

Here an indigenously isolated microalgal strain Ascochloris spp. cultivated in synthetic medium was evaluated as an aquaculture feed supplement. The daily dietary supplement includes microalgal feed (AF) and commercial diet feed (CF) (as control), respectively. These diets were fed separately to the juvenile Clarias gariepinus fishes (n = 4) under controlled conditions for an experimental period of 100 days. The protein, glycogen and lipid contents in the muscle extracts were found to be marginally higher in fishes that were fed with CF than AF diet. Similarly, CF fishes showed significantly higher glutathione-s-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and lipid peroxidase activities, except glutathione content. Zero mortality of the fishes with no significant difference in the overall body mass with the two dietary supplements strongly suggests that algal biomass could supplement the requisite nutrients for their metabolic activities. This preliminary investigation helps in exploring algal biomass as a potential alternative feed additive in the aquaculture industry.

“…Spirulina is an economical microalgae which is easily produced in aquaculture, stands out as a balanced amino acid content of 55%–70% protein, and is among the alternative protein sources in fish feed (Hasan & Chakrabarti, ). Spirulina is rich in biomolecules with pharmaceutical and nutraceutical effects (Raji et al, ; Yaakob, Ali, Zainal, Mohamad, & Takriff, ) and can easily digest more than 85% of the protein because cell walls are not in cellulosic structure (Sasson, ). Spirulina is a species of Cyanobacteria containing rich antioxidant and phycocyanin with high DNA protective effect (Oguzkan, Guroy, Tonus, Guroy, & Kılıc, ).…”

This study was carried out to determine the effects of fish meal or plant‐based diets with supplementation of dietary Spirulina (4%) on shelf life of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Rainbow trout (initial weight: ~135 g) were fed four experimental diets (fish meal‐based FM, plant meal‐based‐PM, Spirulina included at 4% of fish meal‐based‐FM/S or plant meal‐based PM/S) for 12 weeks. After the feeding trial, trout were stored on ice at 4°C for 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 days. The chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses of fish were subjected to each sampling days for flesh quality evaluation. TBA of supplemented dietary Spirulina was lower than that non‐supplemented dietary Spirulina. pH values of all groups decreased significantly between days 0 and 20 during the storage period (p < 0.05). Luminosity (L*) value of all groups increased with time in storage period. Fish fed Spirulina supplemented diets showed an increased red/green tonality (a*) (p < 0.05) compared with fish fed non‐Spirulina supplemented diets. In the end of the storage period, the total coliforms values of fish fed with PM/S diet lower than that of other all diets. In conclusion, dietary Spirulina could be allowed the shelf life of the rainbow trout to be extended.

“…Also, Khani et al, (2016) examined the effect of C. vulgaris on the hematological values of koi Carp for 8 weeks and found that higher values of these blood parameters in treated fish. Moreover, Raji et al, (2018) found that the value of PCV, RBC, and WBC significantly increased after supplementation of the African catfish diet with C. vulgaris and S. platensis microalgae for 12 weeks. This result is similar to the result reported by Abid., (2018) who revealed that the supplementation of C. vulgaris in koi carp feed resulted in a significant increase in RBC, Hb, Hct, and WBC level.…”

Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Chlorella vulgaris microalgae on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Methods: A total of 40 healthy fish were used in this study and were randomly classified into two groups (n= 20/group). The 1 st group served as a control, while the 2 nd group received C. vulgar powder (5%) in feed for one month. Blood samples were collected post-treatment. The serum samples were used to estimate the levels of total protein, albumin, globulin, lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein), uric acid, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Also, some hematological parameters were measured post-treatment. Results: There was a significant increase in serum levels of total protein, albumin, and globulin, while total cholesterol level was significantly decreased in the C. vulgaris group as compared to the control group. The levels of AST, ALT, uric acid, and creatinine showed no significant changes. Moreover, the supplementation of C. vulgaris in the diet of treated fish evoked a significant increase in hemoglobin, packed cell volume %, red blood cells, and white blood cells count. Conclusion: These findings conclude that the addition of C. vulgaris algae in fish diet enhances the health status of Nile tilapia without any negative effects on blood parameters.
