A method of making a biomass of a microorganism having fatty acids and a concentration of EPA, comprising:
- (a) fermenting the microorganism in a fermentor vessel to produce a biomass wherein the microorganism comprises a Thraustochytrid that produces a biomass having at least 3% EPA of the total weight of the fatty acids;
- and
- (b) adjusting the amount of the biomass in the vessel to attain a % level of EPA of the total weight of the fatty acids in the Thraustochytrid that is higher when comparing to the % level of EPA where the amount of biomass is not adjusted.
