“…Suffice to say that the sheer size of data tables and associated >150 references preclude inclusion within the confines of this chapter. For a relatively complete compendium of biochemical composition, readers are referred to Becker [3]. Generally, proximate composition of dry microalgae is extreme for ash (<1-53%), protein (2-73%), lipid (<1-83%), carbohydrate (1-64%) and energy (4-30 MJ kg…”

Microalgae-based ingredients have potential to ensure continued growth of salmonid a q u a c u l t u r ef o rg l o b a ls u s t a i n a b l ef o o ds e c u r i t yi nt h eb l u ee c o n o m y .A l g a lb i o r e f ineries must valorize the entire crop to grow profitable microalgae-based economies. With massive growth and demand for novel sustainable ingredients, farmed salmonid feed sectors are highly promising areas to focus on. Microalgae-based ingredients for salmonid feeds may have market advantages in terms of lower input costs, aerial footprint, wastewater remediation benefits and carbon credits for industrial CO 2 conversion. A handful of microalgae-based ingredients have been proposed as candidates to supply well-balanced nutrients and immunostimulatory compounds. However, technical gaps exist and need addressing before the industry could economically incorporate microalgae-based ingredients into commercial feeds. Current knowledge on comprehensive biochemical composition is incomplete, highly heterogeneous, and information on their nutritional value is scattered and/or inconsistent. The aim of this chapter is to consolidate relatively fragmented data on biochemical composition and nutritional value of microalgae-based ingredients focusing on farmed salmonid feeds. Presented are discussions on the potential for such 'next-generation' ingredients, opportunities/challenges for their use and a compendium of studies evaluating their performance in feeds for economically relevant farmed salmonids, including rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).

“…Tetraselmis suecica, the microalgal species that is used in this study, has one of the broadest applications in aquaculture. It serves as feed for larvae and postlarvae of shellfish, penaeid shrimp larvae, abalone larvae, brine shrimp and rotifers (Becker, 2013). Photoautotrophic microalgae need dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) besides light and CO 2 for the formation of macromolecules like proteins, DNA, RNA, ATP and phospholipids.…”

“…The marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica is a valuable feedstock in aquaculture, where it is used for direct feed for shellfish or indirect feed for some fish larvae via rotifers, copepods or Artemia in hatcheries [1]. This phototrophic microalga can best be cultivated at controlled conditions in closed photobioreactors (PBRs).…”
