Microalgae are increasingly in the focus of both science and industry for the production of biomass for e.g. biofuels or aquaculture feed, or for extracting valuable substances such as carotenes, vitamins and w-3 fatty acids. An interdisciplinary pilot study is proposed comprising experimentalists and modellers to examine the extent to which yield and stability of algae aquacultures can be improved by means of numerical modelling.
