Message definition (Omega-3 fatty acid)
The longer-chain EPA and DHA are only naturally made by [[marine algae]] and [[phytoplankton]]. The microalgae ''[[Crypthecodinium cohnii]]'' and ''[[Schizochytrium]]'' are rich sources of DHA, but not EPA, and can be produced commercially in [[bioreactor]]s for use as [[food additive]]s. Oil from [[brown algae]] (kelp) is a source of EPA. The alga ''[[Nannochloropsis]]'' also has high levels of EPA.
