Summary: The article investigates the influence of ultrasound irradiation on algal biomass productivity, oil content, and fatty acid profile of microalgae grown in a modified Zarrouk medium using deproteinized whey waste solution. The results show that ultrasound stressing positively affects the biomass quantity and oil yield, and causes a shift in fatty acid composition by increasing the proportion of C16 and C18 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Low dosage ultrasound exposure leads to biomass increase and lipid accumulation. Excessive sonication becomes detrimental to microalgae growth.

Summary: The growing global demand for fish and the stagnation of capture fishery production pose challenges for aquaculture. Aquaculture relies on fishmeal, which is criticized for its environmental impact. To achieve sustainable growth, alternative protein sources such as spirulina are being considered as substitutes for fishmeal. A study conducted in Germany found that informed consumers preferred trout fillets with the unusual yellow color caused by spirulina over conventional white fillets. Additionally, consumers showed a strong preference for domestically-produced fillets and feed claims had a marginal impact on consumer preferences.

Summary: Conventionally, microalgal lipid extraction uses volatile organic compounds as extraction solvents, which are harmful to human and environmental health. This study evaluated the feasibility of alternative green solvents, namely ethanol and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF), in lipid extraction from Chlorella sp. via ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). The study found that the ethanol-2-MeTHF mixture (2:1, v/v) at a solvent-to-biomass ratio of 20:1 (v/w), temperature of 60°C, and duration of 25 minutes achieved the highest crude lipid yield of 25.05 ± 0.924%. Ethanol-2-MeTHF-extracted lipids showed dominance in linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, and palmitic acid. This study supports the use of UAE with ethanol and 2-MeTHF as green solvents for lipid extraction from microalgae.

Summary: To ensure food security and nutrition, sustainable aquafeeds with reduced fish meal content should be used in fish farming. Soybean meal is commonly used as an alternative raw material, but its high content can affect fish growth and physiology. This study found that the expression of six microRNAs in blood plasma was associated with high soybean meal content and related physiological consequences. These findings contribute to our understanding of the physiological impact of soybean meal content in farmed fish and suggest that circulating microRNAs may be suitable biomarkers for fish physiology monitoring.
