Lipids and their constituent fatty acids are, along with proteins, the major organic
constituents of fish, and they play major roles as sources of metabolic energy for growth …

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 …

Lipid reserves in teleost eggs are stored in lipoprotein yolk and, in some species, a discrete
oil globule. Lipoprotein yolk lipids are primarily polar lipids, especially phosphatidylcholine …

The sole, Solea senegalensis, is a common high-value flatfish in Southern Europe,
commonly reared in extensive aquacultural production in Portugal and Spain. Research in …

A number of scientific studies have investigated aspects of soles (Solea solea and S.
senegalensis) ecology, population genetics and biology in their natural environment, and …

Amino acids are vital for all living organisms. During early fish ontogeny, they are important
fuel molecules, signalling factors and major substrates for the synthesis of a wide range of …

The digestive system of Solea senegalensis was studied from hatching until 1 month of
larval life. Histological and histochemical procedures were used to study the …

The senegal sole (Solea senegalensis) is a potential culture species in salt water ponds in
south Spain and Portugal. However, growth of an industry around this species is constrained …

Senegal sole aquaculture is at present limited due to poor reproduction of captive breeders
in many facilities. Temperature seems to play an important role in controlling reproduction of …

The metamorphosis of Solea senegalensis was studied in larvae reared at 20° C and fed
four different feeding regimes. A, Artemia (4 nauplii ml− 1); B, Artemia (2 nauplii ml− 1); C …
