Abstract

There is real interest in algal biomass for aquafeed right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers the most value.
We pull together the current evidence for algal biomass for aquafeed, covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost
angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where researchers and regulators are still largely working it out
for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout
or blanket avoidance.
