“…By contrast, the results of other studies revealed positive effects of spirulina on the growth of other fish species, including the nibbler Girella punctata Gray (Nakazoe et al, 1986), striped jack Pseudocaranx dentex (Watanabe et al, 1990), red sea bream Pagrus major (Mustafa et al, 1994), rohu Labeo rohita (Nandeesha et al, 2001), Nile tilapia (Lu et al, 2004), Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baeri (Palmegiano et al, 2005) of experimental diets supplemented with spirulina, and the results showed positive effects.…”

A 10-week feeding trial was conducted to examine the effects of dietary spirulina and quercetin on growth, innate immunity, disease resistance and dietary antioxidant capacity in the juvenile olive flounder. Triplicate groups of fish (initial body weight, 2.9 ± 0.01 g) were fed one of isonitrogenous (48% crude protein) and isocaloric (17.4 MJ/kg DM) experimental diets containing 0% spirulina (as a control), 3.4% spirulina, or 6.8% spirulina with or without supplementation of 0.5% quercetin (designated as CON, SP3.4, SP6.8, and SP6.8 + Q, respectively) at a rate of 3% body mass twice daily. Higher dietary antioxidant capacity was found with spirulina supplementation, and the highest value (P < 0.05) was obtained with SP6.8 + Q diet. At the end of the feeding trial, no significant effects were observed on growth performance, body composition and disease resistance against Edwardsiella tarda. Lysozyme activity was significantly increased by spirulina supplementation (P < 0.05), and the highest value was observed in the group fed SP6.8 + Q diet. Also, significantly higher respiratory burst activity (P < 0.05) was found in SP3.4 group. According to the results of this study, dietary supplementation of 3.4% spirulina may enhance innate immunity of olive flounder.

“…Feeding red sea bream (Pagrus major) for 95 days on a diet supplemented with 2% Spirulina sp. elevated the protein synthesis of the fish, and the stromal fraction of the muscle protein was significantly higher in the Spirulina-fed group (Mustafa et al, 1994). A study on Nile tilapia revealed that feeding 25% of Chlorella spp.…”

Defatted Biomass of the Microalga, Desmodesmus sp., Can Replace Fishmeal in the Feeds for Atlantic salmon

Microalgal biomass is a potential feed ingredient that can replace fishmeal and ensure sustainability standards in aquaculture. To understand the efficacy of the defatted biomass from the marine microalga, Desmodesmus sp. a 70-day feeding study was performed with Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts. Three groups of fish (av. wt. 167 g) were offered either a control feed (without the microalga) or the microalga-containing (10/20%) feeds. At the end of the feeding period, the growth indices (condition factor, specific growth rate) and survival of the microalga-fed fish were not significantly different from the respective values of the control fish, but the feed conversion ratios were inferior. The proximate composition of the whole body of salmon from the three groups did not vary significantly. Compared to the control fish, the 10% alga-fed fish had lower lipid content in their filet. The protein and lipid digestibility in the three feeds did not differ significantly, but the digestibility of energy in the 10% alga-feed was significantly lower than that of the control feed. Furthermore, comparison of the distal intestinal proteome of Atlantic salmon revealed that the expressions of Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein-like (Ahsg), Myosin-11 isoform X1 (My11) and Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, mitochondrial-like (Dld) were altered by the microalgal feeding. Examination of the physiological status of the fish based on the serum antioxidant capacities did not reveal any alga-feed-related differences. Moreover, the expression of the selected immune and inflammatory marker genes and the micromorphological observations did not indicate any aberration in the intestinal health of the microalga-fed fish. It is possible to include 20% of defatted Desmodesmus sp. in the feeds of Atlantic salmon.

“…compare to diet without Spirulina sp. (Mustafa et al 1994). Diets containing algae protein from Hydrodictyon reticulatum (Appler 1985) and Cladophora glomerata (Appler & Jauncey 1983) also displayed the same effect, where low lipid content was observed in the Nile tilapia muscle.…”
