This new infrastructure, developed by the company Buggy Power, with the collaboration of the Murcian Institute of Agricultural and Food Research and Development (IMIDA) and the Technological Center for Energy and Environment (Cetenma) aims to improve and transform the feed through the incorporation of microalgae.
The mayor of San Pedro del Pinatar, Visitación Martínez, the director of IMIDA, Vicente J. Pascual, and the president of Buggy Power, Pedro Escudero, today inaugurated the new microalgae cultivation plant, included in the project 'Development of new feed for aquaculture based on the functional properties of microalgae (Algafeed) ', and which has funding from the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, within the call' Challenges Collaboration of 2015 'that promotes R & D & i.
This plant, installed in the IMIDA Marine Aquaculture Station, reproduces the growth of marine microalgae in closed photobioreactors.
It is also a sustainable technology, which meets strict environmental standards by capturing CO2.
Microalgae have a composition rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids and other trace elements of high nutritional quality, and are naturally part of the base of the trophic chain of all existing aquatic species.
Therefore, this project introduces this type of microalgae in the development of new feed for aquaculture.
In addition, due to these nutritional qualities, food products and cosmetics with microalgae are also being developed.
