Taiwanese fish processing specialists have identified spirulina as the best food for shrimp and shrimp larvae. The spirulina diet reduces larval mortality and gives a good growth rate. Ornamental fish farmers use spirulina for better coloring.

Spirulina can be used as a complementary supplement or complete replacement of proteins in aquatic foods.

In the shrimp industry, many food additives have been used, but Spirulina is the only additive to the microalga that has benefits for producers that offset the initial cost and provide a significant cost / performance ratio.

Spirulina has been studied as a dietary supplement for giant freshwater shrimp (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and has greatly improved growth, survival and use of food. The supplementation range was 5 to 20% and the results were similar to one of the ranges added to foods.

Spirulina is a cheaper food ingredient than others of animal origin.

China uses spirulina as a partial substitute for imported foods to promote the growth, immunity and viability of shrimp.

Foods containing spirulina were found to reduce crop time and mortality, and increase the thickness of the shell.

The abalone survival rate (Haliotis midae) was improved by 37.4%.

The feeding of spirulina has helped to improve the disease resistance of high-value fish, which has resulted in an improved survival rate of 15 to 30 percent.
