Description
Book Synopsisaeo editor and contributors have many yearsa experience researching algal culture systems aeo the book provides important information for those growing microalgae on a commercial basis aeo of use and interest to a wide range of industries aeo potential health properties of algae used in foods is of great current interest.
Trade Review"... well organised , with clear and illustrative figures... I recommend it to academic staff and researchers at universities and institutes with interests in microalgal culture and aquaculture. The book may also be of interest to certain sectors of the aquaculture industry."
International Aquaculture "I would recommend this as a textbook for undergraduates and postgraduates interested in algal biotechnology."
