It is used industrially in the production of docosahexaenoic acid. [2] Crypthecodinium cohnii is a heterotrophic non-photosynthetic Microalgae . C. cohnii can acclimate a higher docosahexaenoic acid to polyunsaturated fatty acids ratio, [ 3 ] however current studies are trying to increase the volume of DHA production by creating mutant strains.
DHA in breast milk is important for the developing infant. [10] Rates of DHA production in women are 15% higher than in men. [11] DHA is a major fatty acid in brain phospholipids and the retina. Preliminary research has investigated its potential benefit in Alzheimer's disease, [1] [12] and cardiovascular disease, [13] and other disorders. [1]

Tilapia fish pens are a common sight in almost all the major rivers and lakes in the country, including Laguna de Bay, Taal Lake, and Lake Buhi.
World capture fisheries and aquaculture production by species group [1] The global commercial production for human use of fish and other aquatic organisms occurs in two ways: they are either captured wild by commercial fishing or they are cultivated and harvested using aquacultural and farming techniques.
As of 2023, 97% of the world's total ilish supply originates in Bangladesh. [5] The fish contributes about 12% of the total fish production and about 1.15% of GDP in Bangladesh. On 6 August 2017, Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks under the Ministry of Industries declared ilish as a Geographical Indication of Bangladesh. [ 6 ]
