Spirulina is used in pet foods as well. Japanese fish foods producers are to chief users of spirulina. In Japan, most of the leading brand of Koi foods have spirulina added. It is believe that spirulina provide these benefits to farmed fish :
1) Better survival rate
2) Improve coloration
3) Better growth

Spirulina is popular with shrimp hatchries throughout the world. It is normally used as "spare food", as some kind of back up to crashed plankton. Hatcheries operators gratefully fed their larvae with spirulina when their plankton crashes. There are benefits in feeding spirulina to shrimp larvae. Studies has shown that spirulina increased survival rate of larvae, more resistant to stress , at the same time the size range become more uniform.

Even cat food and bird food producers are adding spirulina to their formulation. It is claimed that spirulina enhanced the sheen of the cats' fur and birds' feather. Hmm, I wish it could add sheen to our crowing glory too. Maybe someday,someone will produce a spirulina hair cream.
