TL;DR: Fatty acids were four to six times more abundant than Chl a in most species but triacyglycerols were abundant only in Chaetoceros gracilis, Isochrysis sp.

TL;DR: The essential amino-acids in the microalgae were either similar to or greater than the levels of the same amino acids in oyster larvae, thus indicating a high protein quality for all microalgal species.

TL;DR: Crassostrea gigas spat were fed diets of Pavlova lutheri, Dunaliella tertiolecta or Tetraselmis suecica as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Crassostrea gigas spat were fed diets of Pavlova lutheri, Dunaliella tertiolecta or Tetraselmis suecica . The D. tertiolecta diet contained no fatty acid longer or more unsaturated than linolenic acid (18:3ω3) and the T. suecica diet was deficient in decosahexaenoic acid (22:6ω3). The algal diets were supplemented with micro-encapsulated triolein, oyster lipid extract or 22:6ω3. Spat were also starved or fed carbohydrate diets.

TL;DR: It was found that industrially cultivated samples of Tetraselmis suecica, Botryococcus braunii, Neochloris oleoabundans, Isochrysis sp.
Abstract: In the past decades, food scientists have been searching for natural alternatives to replace synthetic antioxidants. In order to evaluate the potential of microalgae as new source of safe antioxidants, 32 microalgal biomass samples were screened for their antioxidant capacity using three antioxidant assays, and both total phenolic content and carotenoid content were measured. Microalgae were extracted using a one-step extraction with ethanol/water, and alternatively, a three-step fractionation procedure using successively hexane, ethyl acetate, and water. Antioxidant activity of the extracts varied strongly between species and further depended on growth conditions and the solvent used for extraction. It was found that industrially cultivated samples of Tetraselmis suecica, Botryococcus braunii, Neochloris oleoabundans, Isochrysis sp., Chlorella vulgaris, and Phaeodactylum tricornutum possessed the highest antioxidant capacities in this study and thus could be a potential new source of natural antioxidants. The results from the different types of extracts clearly indicated that next to the well-studied carotenoids, phenolic compounds also contribute significantly to the antioxidant capacity of microalgae.

TL;DR: A novel technique was developed for the flocculation of marine microalgae commonly used in aquaculture, and concentrates prepared from 1000 L Chaetoceros muelleri cultures were effective as supplementary diets to improve the growth of juvenile C. gigas and the scallop Pecten fumatus reared under commercial conditions.
