We investigated whether dietary supplementation with Aurantiochytrium sp. meal, a DHA-rich source (docosahexaenoic acid, 22: 6 n-3), fed during long-term exposure to cold-suboptimal temperature (22 °C, P1), followed by short-term exposure to higher temperatures (28 °C, P2, and 33 °C, P3), would promote oxidative damage in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Two supplementation levels were tested: 1.

Initially, the digestibility of the microalgae meal was assessed, and the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) was determined.

The proximate composition, fatty acid profile, colour and texture of the shrimps were evaluated. Moisture, protein, and ash content of shrimp muscle were not significantly altered when fishmeal was replaced by MW (p>0.
