CSTAR:  Effects of LED lights on algae growth

Picture
Alex Chopie – Florida Organic Aquaculture – Florida Aquaculture Foundation
Growing shrimp is a long, arduous process. Shrimp grow in their own food source known as biofloc which consists of multiple algae and bacteria. Growth of 4 types of algae, that make-up the biofloc, did not differ under fluorescent or LED light conditions.
