Use of Microalgae Pigments in Aquaculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pigments from Microalgae Handbook

Abstract

Aquaculture sector shows the fastest growth among the global food production industries. However, nutrition and diseases are two important hurdles that need to be addressed to propel the industry forward. Consistent supply of high-quality feed for growing larvae of important aquaculture species is one of the bottlenecks of the local larviculture industry. Microalgal pigments containing carotenoids, phycobiliproteins and chlorophylls are highly nutritious functional foods containing high antioxidant biomolecules associated with fast growth, high immunity, enhanced pigmentation and high productivity. Their high contents of lipids and fatty acids make them valuable alternatives for replacement of fish meals in livestock and fish feeds. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), functional amino acids, vitamins and other biomolecules associated with health are also found in many microalgae species. Major pigments such as astaxanthin, lutein, beta-carotene, chlorophylls, and phycobiliproteins have been proven as valuable sources for the development of functional, nutritional and therapeutic commodities to enhance pigmentation, survival, disease resistance and health of cultured organisms. In spite of their well-known applications, commercial production of pigment supplies such as astaxanthin, fucoxanthin, canthaxanthin, β-carotene and phycobiliproteins are still limited by production technologies. More research and innovation for cost-effective pigments production and applications in improving growth and health in aquatic organisms are important for a sustainable aquaculture industry.
