Abstract

The seafood business has increasingly prioritized resource-efficient and ecological practices in recent decades. Cultivating microalgae with seafood effluent can address environmental challenges, enhance resource efficiency, and deliver value-added products to society and the ecosystem. The utilization of algal biomass generates substantial revenues through the treatment of seafood effluents and the application of the algae generated biomass. The elevated nutrition and organic matter content of wastewater regulated microalgae development through light energy and carbon sources. Likewise, several physico-chemical and biological approaches are employed to achieve optimality. The algae mass growth technology employed in the seafood effluent sector primarily aims for sustainability and appropriate waste disposal, thereby facilitating environmental preservation, enhancing citizens’ quality of life, and providing societal benefits such as value added bio products from microbial and algal sources. Discussing fishery wastewater with algal biomass offers an opportunity to address sanitary and environmental concerns while acquiring contributions in a source capable and viable fashion. This analysis aims to focus the remarkable aspects of fishery sewage that can be utilized for water reclamation and ecofriendly contributions through the use of microalgae.
