Abstract

A method for improving aquaculture growth and/or survival rate and hemocyte viability, comprising growing the aquaculture in the presence of cyanobacteria F. diplosiphon. The aquaculture may be a shellfish aquaculture, for example, shrimp, crayfish, oysters, clams, mussels, and crabs or combinations thereof. The aquaculture may be freshwater aquaculture, brackish aquaculture, or saltwater aquaculture. The F. diplosiphon may be a wild-type or an engineered/recombinant strain.
