Description Unicellular marine microalgae are widely
used as food in the hatchery production of fish
and shellfish. Molluscs like oysters, mussels and
clams filter them from the seawater in all stages of
life. Rotifers and brine shrimp also ingest algae,
and these are then used as food for fish and prawn
larvae. In hatchery systems algae are added to the
larval rearing tanks to improve ‘quality’ of water
as green water systems. The production of algae is
very critical in successful hatchery management.
