Aquaculture
Current trend: avoiding using microalgae High cost Difficulty in producing, harvesting &
storing Alternatives have been develop, but
are not advanced enough to be widely applied.
![Page 21: Commercial applications of microalgae](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554e79b2b4c90545698b4ed6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Pets and farming
Applied on many types of animal Positively affect animal physiology:
Improved immune response & fertility Better weight control
Enhance external appearance: Healthy skin & Lustrous coat
Prolong feedings at high concentration may lead to adverse effects.
