Ang ‘thraustochytrid’ ay isang uri ng protista o ‘protist’ na may kakayahang lumikha ng mga polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) sa pamamagitan ng pag-’decompose’ ng mga nabubulok na materyal. Karaniwang nabubuhay ang mga thraustochytrid sa mga matutubig na lugar gaya ng estero at bakawan kung saan makikita ang mga ito sa mga nabubulok na dahon. Malaki ang interes dito ng mga mananaliksik dahil sa abilidad nitong lumikha ng ‘docosahexaenoic acid’ (DHA) at ‘eicosapentaenoic acid’ (EPA) na mahalaga sa nutrisyon sa mga pakain sa mga isda para sa mas mabilis na pagpapalaki ng mga ito.
