Microalgae are a source of diverse high-value compounds, such as carotenoids and fatty acids, which have a potential application in aquafeeds. Some microalgae species present complex cell wall structures, which make them poorly digestible, thus limiting their use as a feed ingredient. Consequently, applying extracted compounds to aquafeeds instead of using the whole algal biomass is advantageous as this is expected to increase the bioavailability of these nutrients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the dietary inclusion (2%) of two extracts obtained from the microalga Nannochloropsis gaditana (one composed of saponifiable lipids and the other of non-saponifiable lipids), alone or in combination, on growth, muscle composition, skin color and lipid oxidation in juvenile gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata, following a 39-day trial. Overall, the inclusion of 2% of the saponifiable lipid extract did not affect the growth performance but fish muscle presented a lower percent...
