Protozoa play a crucial role in marine aquaculture ponds, contributing to the overall health and balance of the ecosystem. Here's an overview of their importance:

1. **Nutrient Cycling**: Protozoa are primary consumers in the food chain, feeding on bacteria and algae. Through their grazing activities, they help in recycling nutrients, converting organic matter into forms that are more readily available to other organisms in the pond
