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 …

Essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements vary qualitatively and quantitatively with both species
and during ontogeny of fish, with early developmental stages and broodstock being critical …

The importance of arachidonic acid (20: 4n− 6, ARA) in fish nutrition has tended to be
overlooked in preference to eicosapentaenoic (20: 5n− 3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids …

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 …

Due to the importance of dietary lipid utilization for larval rearing success, increasing
attention has been paid during the last years to different aspects of larval lipid nutrition such …

The effects of high dietary docosahexaenoic acid (22: 6n− 3, DHA) and varying arachidonic
acid (20: 4n− 6, AA) were tested on growth, survival and resistance to handling stress in 5 …

Throughout the evolution of fish nutrition science, the importance of dietary arachidonic acid
(ARA, 20: 4n‐6) has been somewhat overlooked, likely due to the polarizing research focus …

This study investigated the effect of dietary arachidonic acid (AA) in broodstock of Japanese
flounder on subsequent egg and larval quality. Diets with similar proximate composition and …

Abstract Omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are essential
components of the diet of all vertebrates. The major dietary source of n-3 LC-PUFA for …
