The use of Macroalgae as a Feed Supplement in Fish Diets

Alternative feed additives must be able to supply comparable nutritional value at a competitive cost. Land based crops, especially grains or oilseeds, have been favored alternatives due to their low costs, and have proved successful when they were used as substitutes of the fishmeals. A variety of herbs and spices have been successfully used in fish culture as growth promoters and immune stimulants in recent years. Algae, including both macroalgae seaweeds and microalgae e.g. phytoplankton , and which are popularly thought of as plants', would be good candidates to serve as alternatives to fishmeals. Therefore it can be difficult to make usual generalizations about the nutritional value of these diverse group of organisms. It is necessary to consider particular qualities of specific algae group using in fish meals.
