Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and aquaculture in perspective
DR Tocher - Aquaculture, 2015 - Elsevier
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 …
