The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of three different macroalgae (Codium sp., Cystoseira sp., and Polyides sp.) on viability of Drosophila melanogaster which is the most widely studied insect species in scientific researches. One of the primary reasons why Drosophila melanogaster is one of so widely studied insect is because of their extremely fast breeding rate in a very short time. Compared to other laboratory animals, the Drosophila melanogaster gene pattern is one of the most widely understood. This may allow some modifications to be made with a very good survival rate. Once these basic functions are completed, the insect hatches and develops into a larval form and stars feeding. At this point, the larvae are feed with what kind of feed want to be tested. In this current study, extracts of macroalgae, Codium sp., Cystoseira sp., and Polyides sp., were added into Instant Drosophila Medium Formula 4-24 and given the Drosophila melanogaster in three groups. There was also a fourth group (control group) which is not added extracts of macroalgae in their feed but water. The results of this study showed that macroalgae, Codium sp., Cystoseira sp., and Polyides sp., had positive effects on viability of Drosophila melanogaster.
