Nannochloropsis gaditana is a marine microalgae widely used in aquaculture due to its high nutritional value and small particle size (2–5 µm), making it ideal for feeding rotifers and fish larvae. Known for its rich content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), it supports healthy growth and development in early-stage aquatic species. It is commonly cultivated in saline, well-lit environments and is also recognised for its applications in biotechnology, nutrition, and cosmetics.

Key Features:

• Microalgae species with 2–5 µm particle size
• High in EPA (omega-3 fatty acids)
• Ideal feed for rotifers and fish larvae
• Supports early-stage growth and development
• Suitable for marine aquaculture systems
• Cultivated in saline, high-light environments
• Used in aquaculture, biotechnology, and nutrition sectors

Nannochloropsis gaditana provides a consistent and nutrient-rich food source for aquaculture use, while also offering wider applications across multiple industries due to its valuable fatty acid profile.
