This paper researches the effect of two different algae and probiotic treatments as well as a new photonic schedule on O. edulis broodstock with the purpose of determining the best way of conditioning the broodstock among the treatments tested. This was done by answering the research question: What is …

The world’s population is consistently increasing and as such is the demand for food. Current industrial farming methods pollute the environment and are unsustainable on multiple levels. To be able to feed future populations it is necessary to look for new, efficient, and more sustainable ways to feed …

Climate change is a major threat for the Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata). A lot of research has been done on the possible effects, but a clear overview is still lacking. This literature review aims to provide an overview of the effects of climate change on the nesting success, sex ratio and …

Seaweeds from the genus Porphyra play a big economic role in seaweed aquaculture, mainly in Asia. In Europe, resources are put towards seaweed cultivation, but without attention to the Porphyra species which is also native to Europe. Different nomenclature and specifications are used to describe Porphyra, …

Rhodomonas salina is a microalgal species, belonging to the cryptophytes, and is widely used as aquaculture feed because of its high nutritional profile and phycoerythrin content. This study investigated the effect of pH on the growth, biochemical composition, and taste of R. salina when cultivated on …

The aroma and taste of eight different phototrophic microalgae species were investigated and compared with five seaweeds to evaluate their potential as flavor ingredients in plant-based seafood alternatives. To assess their per- formance, commercial seafood flavoring products were used as a reference …

Large floating projects have the potential to overcome the challenge of land scarcity in urban areas and offer opportunities for energy and food production, or even for creating sustainable living environments. However, they influence the physical, chemical, biological and ecological characteristics …

This research examines the water quality of Lake Volkerak-Zoom, focusing on annual returning blue-green algae (Microcystis) blooms. In addition, this research is focused on the possibility to sustainably remove 50% blue-green algae (Microcystis) from Lake Volkerak-Zoom using nutrient related measures, …

Ever since lake Volkerak got its status as a partially closed-off lake in the late ‘80s, excessive (cyanobacterial) algae blooms in the summer period have been a consistently occurring problem. This research aims to investigate the location-specific effectiveness of wetlands and floodplains in nutrient …
