Description:
It's official name of Hutt Lagoon was given by explorer George Grey who camped on its edge in 1839. Hutt Lagoon is a salt lake with a pink hue due to the presence of the carotenoid producing algae, Dunaliella salina, which is a source of beta-carotene, used as a food-colouring agent and source of Vit A. in cosmetics and supplements. The lagoon contains the worlds largest microalgae production plant. Hutt Lagoon also provides a commercial supply of Artemia parthenogenetica brine shrimp, Artemia is a specialty feed used by prawn & fish farmers and the aquarium trade.
