• Light and photosynthetic microalgae: A review of cellular- and molecular-scale optical processes (2018, background): “Furthermore, they can be used in wastewater treatment and are of significant commercial interest as a renewable resource for lipids, pigments, hydrogen, proteins, emulsifiers, and gelling agents that are used in industries like pharmacy, bioplastics, nutrition, food, cosmetics, and last but not leas”
• Co-production of lipids, eicosapentaenoic acid, fucoxanthin, and chrysolaminarin by Phaeodactylum tricornutum cultured in a flat-plate photobioreactor under varying nitrogen conditions (2017, background): “Closed photobioreactors have attracted more attention than open systems because of their better control of cultivation conditions, higher biomass productivity, and higher cell density, thereby reducing the cost of harvest (Ugwu et al., 2008; Chauton et al., 2015).”
• Producing Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: A Review of Sustainable Sources and Future Trends for the EPA and DHA Market (2020, background): “Among other high value-added products, some specific microalgae produce long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA [30].”
• The Application of Single-Cell Ingredients in Aquaculture Feeds—A Review (2020, background): “However, the main industrial limitation upon their use appears to remain an economic not a technical one [228].”
• Influence of Nitrogen Limitation on Lipid Accumulation and EPA and DHA Content in Four Marine Microalgae for Possible Use in Aquafeed (2019, background): “As a result, alternative raw materials are increasingly being evaluated for use in aquafeed formulation (Chauton et al., 2014).”
• Microalgae in aquafeeds for a sustainable aquaculture industry (2018, background): “…heterotrophically grown species of microalgae have been evaluated for their high EPA and/or DHA contents, such as Monodus sp. , Nannochloropsis sp., Phaeodactylum sp., Schizochytrium sp. Thraustochytrium sp., and Aurantiochytrium sp. (Chauton et al. 2015; Sharma and Schenk 2015; Liu et al. 2014).”
• Sustainable Intensification of Aquaculture through Nutrient Recycling and Circular Economies: More Fish, Less Waste, Blue Growth (2021, background): “Raceways ponds can produce algal biomass at 10–25 g m 2 day 1 from wastewater and have greater scalability and lower costs compared to tubular and flat panel photobioreactors (2.95 vs 3.85 USD l 1 algal oil extracted) (Oncel 2013; Chauton et al. 2015; Guti errez et al. 2015).”
• The promising future of microalgae: current status, challenges, and optimization of a sustainable and renewable industry for biofuels, feed, and other products (2018, background): “6% of DHA and EPA per total fatty acids of biomass indicating its feasibility for production of EPA and DHA at commercial scale [199].”
