The present disclosure generally relates to a fish feed or fish feed product including a binding agent that increases the particle size and stability of feces produced by fish that consume the fish feed or fish feed product. In general, the fish feed will include a binding against such as locust bean gum, cassia gum, xanthan gum, tara gum, or combinations thereof. Also provided are methods for increases fish feces stability and methods for eliminating suspended solids from a recirculating aquaculture system.

A method of improving microbiome within an animal can include administering to the animal a composition containing a probiotic and psyllium. The probiotic has at least one of any suitable strain or subspecies of Enterococcus. Compositions containing a probiotic and psyllium are also provided herein.

The present invention relates to the use of an anthocyanin and/or betanin as a colourant in a food product, plant extracts as a source of anthocyanins and/or betanins, compositions comprising the plant extracts and processes using the anthocyanins and/or betanins or compositions described herein.

A novel alga mutant having improved pigment productivity is provided. The mutant can be used to produce carotenoid-based pigments, particularly, xanthophyll by using a small amount of energy, and thus can effectively produce pigment on an industrial level. In addition, the mutant can be used as a source for foods, health functional foods, and medications which contain a pigment. Further, when account is taken of the physiological characteristics of the euryhaline microalgae Dunaliella and the geological characteristics of Korean, the three sides of which are in contact with the sea, sea-water can be used as a culture medium, with the expectation of reducing the cost and leading to the development of related industries.
