Microalgae, the microscopic plants present in oceans and waterways, are exploited as an indispensible food source for the commercial production of many aquaculture species. Within the hatchery environment, they are directly eaten by all growth stages of bivalves (broodstock, larvae, juveniles), post-set abalone, the larval stages of some crustacean species, and the very early developmental stages of some fish species. Microalgae are also used as feed to culture zooplankton (e.g. Anemia, rotifers, copepods) that are used as food for larval and juvenile stages of many fish and crustacean species.
