dc.description.abstractMicroalgae are a diverse group of organisms that form the basic component of many eco­- systems. The systemic classification of algae is primarily based on their pigment composition and is divided into nine classes. The largest groups are Chlorophyceae (green algae), Phaeophyceae (brown algae), Pyrrophyceae (dinoflagellates), Chrysophyceae (golden brown algae), Bacillariophyceae (diatoms) and Rhodo­ phyceae (red algae). It has been estimated that between 22,000 and 26,000 species exist (Norton et al., 1996), of which only a few species have been identified to be useful for commercial application, such as Spirulina, Chlorella, Haematococcus, Dunaliella, Botryococcus, Phaeodactylum and Porphyridium. Several other species that are also cultivated commercially for the hatcheries in the aquaculture field include Chaetoceros, Crypthecodinium, Isochrysis, Nannochloris, Nitzschia, Schizo­chytrium, Tetraselmis and Skeletonema (Raja et al., 2008).pt_PT
