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 …

Organisms differ in the proportions of major elements that they contain, including N and P,
which are known to be highly dynamic and potentially limiting to production of aquatic …

Since no artificial feed formulation is yet available to completely substitute for Artemia,
feeding live prey to young fish larvae still remains essential in commercial hatchery …

Feeding of marine fish larvae is, in most cases, limited to the administration of two species of
live prey. This reduction in the range of food available for the cultured larvae may …

Since no artificial feed formulation for first feeding of marine larval fish has been developed
yet, live prey feeding remains essential in commercial marine hatchery operations. Because …

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 aim of the present study was to evaluate the morphological changes in the intestine of
gilthead seabream fed different lipid sources. Five experimental diets containing 22% lipid …

The objectives of this volume are to present an up-to-date (literature survey up to 2001)
account of the biology of Artemia focusing particularly upon the major advances in …

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 …

A feeding experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of the eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA, 20: 5n− 3) to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n− 3) ratio (EPA DHA) on 17-day …
