PRODUCTION OF MARINE MICRO ALGAE FOR AQUACULTURE IN TRADITIONAL 400 L-BAGS VS VERTICAL COLUMN PHOTOBIOREACTORS

摘要

The production of marine microalgae in photobioreactors (PBR) has long been demonstrated only for species such as Nannochloropsis sp., however others such as Tetraselmis sp. and Isochrysis sp. (T-ISO) are regularly grown in bags with green-water system. In this study, these three species were cultured in traditional polyethylene 400 L bags or in 2-m acrylic 100 L column PBRs to compare densities attained, productivity and the biochemical composition of the harvested biomass.
