S2AQUA researcher Sandra Ramos is one of the authors of a study analyzing the effects of dietary supplementation with microalgae, macroalgae, and antioxidants on the composition of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) eggs.

Led by CCMAR and conducted at Flatlantic, the study evaluated parameters related to the antioxidant and nutritional profile of eggs from broodstock fed diets enriched with micro- and macroalgae. It also assessed factors such as total antioxidant content and its relationship with broodstock diet.

One of the study’s key findings was that the inclusion of Arthrospira platensis and Laminaria digitata, along with a higher amount of antioxidants, allowed researchers to characterize potential changes in egg composition.

The results of this research contribute to a better understanding of the role of algae in broodstock nutrition and egg composition, providing valuable data for future applications in aquaculture nutrition and reproduction.
