Article: The evaluation of spray-dried microalgae in diets for juvenile Manila clam, Tapes philippinarum.

ABSTRACT Replacement of live microalgal diets is a significant challenge in developing cost-effective and reliable production methods for bivalves. In this study, the results of growth experiments are reported with juvenile Manila clams, Tapes philippinarum, fed on a heterotrophically grown, spray-dried, Schizochytrium-based product (SZ; Docosa Gold, Sanders Brine Shrimp) or a spray-dried, Haematococcus pluvialis-based product (H; Sanders Brine Shrimp) either alone or as supplements for rations of living algae. The effects of additions of bentonite, a naturally occurring silt, in combination with SZ and H on the growth of Manila clams were also investigated. Results showed ...
