Our Nannochloropsis oceanica mother culture is a high-quality live microalgae starter culture designed for advanced research and industrial cultivation.

Nannochloropsis oceanica is a unicellular, non-motile microalga known for its high lipid accumulation capacity, particularly Eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. It is widely used in aquaculture as a feed for fish larvae and shellfish, as well as in nutraceutical and biofuel industries. The species demonstrates strong tolerance to varying salinity and environmental conditions, making it highly suitable for marine and brackish water cultivation systems.

This culture is maintained under controlled sterile conditions to ensure high viability, purity, and consistent growth performance for both laboratory-scale experiments and commercial-scale operations.
