Algae Production for Aquaculture Feeed

The proposed Phase I project includes (i) utilizing Global Algae Innovations low-cost production technology to generate a new algal feed ingredient that is a combination of the new algae strain and a high omega-3 diatom algae; and (ii) evaluating the new algal feed ingredient through compositional analysis, a rainbow trout fry trial, and a digestibility trial at the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, Bozeman, Montana. These results will be used to estimate the market value of the new algal feed ingredient to determine if additional testing and scale-up of the process is warranted. Phase II would include longer-term production tests to generate key metrics needed to support scale-up and more extensive feed trails to validate the efficacy of the new algal feed ingredient.
