In the 40 years since the essentiality of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in fish was first
established by determining quantitative requirements for 18: 3n− 3 and 18: 2n− 6 in rainbow …

Animals are biological transformers of dietary matter and energy to produce high-quality
foods and wools for human consumption and use. Mammals, birds, fish, and shrimp require …

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are major components of complex lipid
