Advantages Related to Spirulina Usage in Fish Farming: A Review

Dr. Devdatta Gopal Lad,

Abstract :

Spirulina algae are excellent Oxygen producers. The nutritive value of Spirulina is too high. It contains huge proportions of Proteins and Carbohydrates. The dried Spirulina is an exceptional feed for various aquacultured organisms. The aquaculturist farmers today are having low profit margin because they have to spend on buying feeds and have to pay out on electricity to drive aerators to maintain dissolved oxygen level in aquaculture ponds. But if Spirulina algae are reared in aquaculture ponds then there is no need of aerators as they themselves are good oxygen producers. Dried Spirulina can be given as feed to the aquacultured organisms as it has a lot of nutritive value. Similarly if the aquaculturist farmers begin rainwater harvesting, then a lot of expenditure can be reduced which is done on electricity and diesel to drive pumps to draw water from nearby fresh water resources for aquaculture. Thus the profit margin can be expanded.
