The efficacy of marine microalgae with high antioxidant activity on growth, survival and oxidative stress of litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae

Abstract

The efficacy of high antioxidant microalgae on oxidative stress biomarkers were examined in Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae. The selection of microalgae with high antioxidant activity in three species of marine microalgae, Tetraselmis chuii, Nannochloropsis maculate and Chaetoceros calcitrans was carried out by a screening test using five antioxidant chemical assays (Antioxidant activity, scavenging effect on superoxide radical and DPPH radical, ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) and total phenolic content).
