Abstract

Fisheries is one of the sectors that can be developed to meet world food needs. The development of the fisheries is influenced by the availability of quality feeds. Dunaliella salina is a unicellular green algae that can be used as fish feeds. D. salina is known to contain many nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, pigments, and others. D. salina has also been shown to increase the growth rate of various types of fish. Not only for growth, but several studies have shown that D. salina has favorable effects on immunology. This article aims to explain the nutritional content and the effect of D. salina on the growth and health of fish. Based on the above studies, D. salina has the potential to be used as an alternative feed for various types of fish.
