Project description: The aim of the project is the production of high added value microalgae biomass from closed-system algae cultivation technology based on novel processes and its use in fish feed. It will result in the development of a supplementary fish feed with a unique, previously undescribed composition of microalgae, which will have a physiologically beneficial effect, thus contributing to the elimination of diseases caused by stress situations common in intensive fish farming and to the development of fish.
The project was supported by the Hungarian State and co-financed by the European Union.
