The work focuses on dynamics modeling of nitrogen compounds in microalgae cells under chemostat conditions. The analysis of classical models (Michaelis-Menten, Monod, Droop), which describe the kinetics of substrate-dependent growth of microalgae, was carried out. Classical models are shown to be applicable provided that the physicochemical parameters of the medium such as temperature, cell irradiation, etc are constant. As an alternative approach, the possibility of using linear splines in kinetics modeling of nitrate absorption by microalgae is shown. For the conditions of the chemostat, particular solutions for the generalized model of the dynamics of nitrogen compounds in the cells of microalgae considered in the first part of the work were obtained, and boundary conditions for the culture growth at unlimited nitrogen were determined. For limited growth, the equation for both the dependence of the specific growth rate on the intracellular nitrogen content, which coincides in form with the Droop model and the dependence of the specific growth rate on the extracellular concentration of nitrogen, which coincides in form with the Monod model were obtained. The species-specific coefficients of the equations such as the maximum specific rate of nitrogen absorption, the maximum specific rate of synthesis of structural components, the maximum content of reserve forms of nitrogen, the minimum share of structural forms of nitrogen in the total cell content were determined.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of sustained swimming and dietary protein levels on growth and hematological responses of juvenile pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus). A completely randomized design was used in a 3x2 factorial arrangement, with three levels of dietary protein (24, 28, and 32% crude protein), two rearing conditions (sustained swimming or motionless water), and 15 replicates. Fish were subjected to sustained swimming at the velocity of two body lengths per second (2 BL s-1), for 45 days. The level of dietary protein and the swimming conditions affected the performance, growth, and hematological profile of pacu. Swimming conditions influenced nutritional factors, increasing daily weight gain, specific growth rate, number of erythrocytes, mean corpuscular volume, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin. Fish under sustained swimming and fed with 24% crude protein showed better growth performance, with higher specific growth rate (4.11±0.88) and higher daily weight gain (2.19±0.47 g per day). Sustained swimming can increase the productive performance of pacu and simultaneously reduce dietary protein levels.
