As a feed or feed additive for aquatic organisms, Spirulina is excellent for the culture of penaeid shrimp, freshwater shrimp, fish larvae, and even Artemia. Additionally, it has been proven that feeding Spirulina will increase fertility and reproduction, weight gain, coloration, and appetite in many species of fish and shrimp.
