Roles of Iron in Aquaculture

Photosynthesis: Iron is a key component of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing sunlight during photosynthesis. This process is vital for phytoplankton growth, which forms the base of the aquatic food chain.

Oxygen transport: Iron is a component of hemoglobin, a protein that transports oxygen in the blood of animal and other aquatic animals.

Enzyme activity: Iron is involved in the activity of several enzymes essential for various metabolic processes.
