vi Aquaculture Microbiology and Biotechnology
Chapter 7 exclusively describes the potentials of bio-prospecting
microalgae, corals and other microorganisms as sources of valuable
nutraceuticals and other compounds. Microalgae have industrial uses
as raw material for carotenoids, vitamins, fatty acid supplements and as
feed additives for poultry, livestock, fi sh and crustaceans. Likewise, corals
provide numerous bioactive compounds including hormones, antibiotics
and pharmaceuticals. The last three chapters in this volume deal with fi sh
industry waste and by-products management. Worawattanamateekul and
Ray in Chapter 8 have briefl y discussed microbial remediation of fi sh and
shrimp culture systems. In Chapter 9, Arvanitoyannis and his colleagues
have described fi sh industry waste management with particular emphasis
on the use of microorganisms. In the last chapter (10), Bhaskar and his
colleagues have elaborately discussed microbial reclamation of fi sh waste
especially with reference to fermentation techniques and application
of microbial protease to recover value-added products like enzymes,
carotenoids, poly-unsaturated fatty acids, etc. from fi sh industry wastes.
