Cold-preservation of microalgae aquaculture feeds.

Summary

The paper discusses the main advantages and drawbacks of different preservation techniques for microalgae aquaculture feeds. In particular, cold-storage methods (cryopreservation, freezing and refrigeration) are evaluated in terms of their capacity to maintain the food value of the preserved algal biomass. The results obtained by the authors with refrigeration of slurries and paste of three marine microalgae (Tetraselmis suecica, Pavlova lutheri and Chlorella sp.) are described in detail. The cultivation of the three microalgae in a novel, fully-controllable photobioreactor and the effect of centrifugation on survival rate are also described.
