The total ash, chlorophyll, phaeopigment, lipid, carotenoid and fatty acid contents of the hybrid Spirulina platensis used in tropical Malaysian mariculture were studied. The axenic laboratory cultures were grown in Zarrok medium, while outdoor cultures were grown in a commercial medium designed for optimum nutrition in tropical outdoor aquaculture operations. Considerable amounts (9% of the total fatty acid) of the polyunsaturated fatty acid 12:6w3 (docosahexaenoic acid) were present. Lipid contest were higher than chlorophyll a. There was an increase with culture age in the relative proportion of total C 16 and C 18 fatty acid components. The algae contained the w3-polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) necessary for the growth and survival rate of the prawn and fish larvae.
