Microalgae or microphytes are microscopic algae invisible to the naked eye. They are phytoplankton typically found in freshwater and marine systems, living in both the water column and sediment. [1]

Microalgae are a group of autotrophic microorganisms that live in marine, freshwater and soil ecosystems and produce organic substances in the process of photosynthesis.

Microalgae can grow 20% to 30% faster than traditional food crops and has no need to compete for arable lands. Aquaponic water is an ideal growing medium for microalgae food production.

Microalgae are usually made from one single cell, or a small number of cells put together in a very simple structure that can quickly grow and multiply into a large biomass rich in nutrients.
