Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) spat were fed for 28 days on either a 100% ration of spray-dried freshwater microalga Spongiococcum excentricum, or an 80% ration of S. excentricum and 20% gelatin-acacia microcapsules (GAM) containing various lipid sources. Replacement of S. excentricum with any l...
