TL;DR: Although significant literature exists on microalgal growth and biochemistry, significantly more work needs to be undertaken to understand and potentially manipulate algal lipid metabolism, which means simulations that incorporate financial elements are likely to be increasingly useful for predicting reactor design efficiency and life cycle analysis.

TL;DR: This paper reviews the literature on abnormal embryonic development in fish, and presents new findings on the significance of blastomere morphology in the Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossUS, to investigate more closely the relationship between blastomeres morphology and fish egg survival.

TL;DR: Fertilization data are presented for Atlantic halibut demonstrating that egg quality decreases 4–6 h after ovulation, and overripening was comparable for eggs held in vitro in ovarian fluid to those retained within the ovarian lumen.

TL;DR: This review assesses current knowledge of the threats and opportunities of climate change for aquaculture in the UK and Ireland, focusing on the most commonly farmed species, blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).

TL;DR: This study presents a rapid and non-destructive method, utilising Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for the simultaneous determination of lipid, protein and carbohydrate content in microalgal biomass.
