Role of microalgae in
aquaculture
Asist. Prof. Dr. Chalee Paibulkichakul
Aquaculture production of Thailand
Aquaculture value of Thailand
Emphasis of microalgae
Pros
Source of natural products
Supply larvae feed
Cons
Eutrophication
Harmful algae
Natural products

semicontinuous culture
Natural products
Marine dinoflagellates are a rich source of
compounds with intriguing structures and
interesting biological activities.
Dinoflagellates Amphidinium sp. : isolated a
series of cytotoxic macrolides Amphidonolides
B, C, G, H and N
* Amphidonolides activity: - antitumor

Constraints on algae production
Not grow in highly selective environment
The climate often not optimal for growth
Requires expertise
Growth mainly in batch culture
Culture systems not inefficient
Cost production strongly affected by economics of
scale
Microalgae for aquaculture
Opportunities
Computer control/automation
Streamlining of scale-up
Reduction of the number of culture units
Continuous culture
Use of pre-mixed nutrients
