Despite considerable progress in recent years, many questions regarding fish larval nutrition
remain largely unanswered, and several research avenues remain open. A holistic …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the structural characteristics, biosynthesis and
functions of lipids in fish. The five different types of lipid classes are: triacylglycerols, wax …

The role of dietary ratios of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n− 3), eicosapentaenoic acid
(EPA, 20: 5n− 3) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20: 4n− 6) on early growth, survival, lipid …

Although global production of flatfish has increased in recent years, both in terms of
numbers of fish and diversification into new species, problems still remain with low survival …

Simple Summary A highly nutritious quality diet that is readily accepted and digested is
essential for better growth and development of aquaculture species. Most newly hatched fish …

The small calanoid copepods Bestiolina similis and Parvocalanus crassirostris
(Paracalanidae) are compared to Acartia sinjiensis, a species of the copepod genus most …

In order to determine the effect of different levels of arachidonic acid (AA) in microdiets on
growth and survival of gilthead seabream larvae, two experiments were carried out. In the …

Cobia may require both eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids to meet
dietary n− 3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) demand. Growth performance …

Le développement de l'aquaculture dans la région méditerranéenne est partiellement fondé
sur la connaissance des besoins nutritionnels de ces especes. Cependant, la formulation …

The n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 LC-PUFA) such as docosahexaenoic and
eicosapentaenoic acids (DHA and EPA) are essential fatty acids for marine carnivorous fish …
