Opis

The realities of modern aquaculture demand new strategies to help fish thrive under stressful conditions. From unstable water quality to overcrowding and handling, farmed fish face constant pressure that can weaken their immunity and slow growth. In response, researchers have turned to microalgae-tiny, nutrient-rich organisms with remarkable functional properties. Among them, Spirulina platensis stands out for its high protein content, antioxidant activity, and immune-boosting effects. This book explores Spirulina's biology, cultivation, and its impact on fish health, growth, and disease resistance. It also highlights native strains from regions like the Caspian Sea, offering locally adapted feed innovations. With practical insights and scientific depth, this book invites aquaculture professionals, researchers, and students to discover how Spirulina is shaping the future of functional feeds and sustainable fish farming.
