A recent publication questions the nutritional value of tilapia in the human diet following the
movement to eat fish for their omega fatty acid (FA) content. It suggests that tilapia have an …

The goal of this project was to increase the nutrient value of fillets, by-product muscle, and
offal of aquacultured tilapia. A diet that includes seafood with a high omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid …

n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential to the health of humans. Aspects of some
diseases and clinical conditions can be alleviated by the supplementation of n-3 fatty acids …

The total lipid content and fatty acid composition of the muscle tissue of tilapia (Oreochromis
niloticus) and of hybrid red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) from different culture systems and from …

A 20‐week feeding trial was conducted to determine whether increasing linolenic acid (18:
3n‐3) in vegetable oil (VO) based diets would lead to increased tissue deposition of 22: 6n …

This report examines the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids to both human health and fish
development. The study considers nutritional requirements for different species of fish and …

In addition to n-6 fatty acids, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential ingredients of the
human diet. Many marine fish contain high levels of these fatty acids; however, freshwater …

To determine the nutritional quality of the lipid segment in tilapia (Orechromis niloticus)
during different periods of development (alevins and juveniles), the total lipids (TL), linolenic …

Fish oil is used as a supplement in animal feed and is recognized for its positive effects on
human health. This work evaluated the fatty acid composition and the nutritional quality of …

Six tropical freshwater species were collected from Philippines in order to study the
characteristic of polyunsaturated fatty acids distributions. 16: 0 and 18: l n-9 were the …
