Chemical compositon of three microalgae species for possible use in mariculture
The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition of Chaetoceros gracilis, Cylindrotheca closterium and Tetraselmis gracilis, species frequently used as food for aquaculture in the northeast of Brazil. The species were grown in f/2 medium, in carboys, aerated from one liter, with c...
