Resumen

El pienso empleado en acuicultura incluye elevadas cantidades de aceite y harina de pescado, ingredientes excelentes desde un punto de vista nutricional, pero insostenibles medioambientalmente debido a que requieren de la captura de pequeños peces pelágicos para su elaboración. Por este motivo, la comunidad científica busca ingredientes alternativos que permitan el desarrollo sostenible de la acuicultura y garanticen la seguridad alimentaria de la población mundial, sin perjudicar el rendimiento productivo y el bienestar de los animales cultivados. En este sentido, las microalgas se postulan como ingredientes prometedores, debido a sus buenas cualidades nutricionales y a su sostenibilidad, ayudando así a conservar el medio ambiente.
