It is also used in ecotoxicology as a sensitive model organism for assessing marine environmental quality and the effects of contaminants.

Parvocalanus crassirostris is a small, strategically important copepod species with high levels of DHA and EPA. It is used in hatcheries to support and enhance the early larval stages of high-value marine fish species.

Rotifers are essential microorganisms in larval aquaculture, serving as both a nutritional vector and a transition feed. Their ability to be enriched, combined with their high productivity, plays a key role in supporting larval survival and growth.

Tisochrysis is a key microalga in aquaculture, valued for its high content of essential fatty acids, particularly DHA. It plays a central role in feeding larval stages and enriching live feed, directly contributing to larval survival and overall production performance.

Rhodomonas is a unicellular red marine microalga with high levels of DHA and EPA. It is particularly valuable for copepod production, where it enhances growth, nutritional quality, and the overall performance of copepod populations used as live feed for fish larvae.
