Effect of photoperiod on the cellular fatty acid composition of three tropical marine microalgae

The culture of microalgae in hatcheries is promoted for their high essential fatty acid (EFA) content which favors the successful rearing of aquatic animals. In this study, batch cultures of Chaetoceros calcitrans, Chlorella sp. and Nannochloropsis sp.were acclimated under photoperiods of 24:0h, 12:...
