Abstract: Algae stand out to be one of the rich sources of various primary and secondary metabolites -known as bioactive compounds. In the present review we have discussed about the utilisation of the algae as live or feed supplements for both edible and coloured fish varieties. Their immense effects on fish growth and immunity have also been reviewed here. Being rich sources of carotenoids, the algal diets may be the best one for fish coloration along with increased immunity level. Therefore, incorporation of algae in fish diets has been found to be beneficial in aquaculture practices.
