Microalgae contain 50% crude protein value, which is comparable with the amino acid
profile of fish meal, and high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids make their use in animal …

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 …

In many cultured fish species, particularly in those new for aquaculture, unpredictable and
variable reproductive performance is an important limiting factor for the successful mass …

The ability to fully control sexual maturation and spawning and to produce large numbers of
high quality seeds 'on demand'(ie all year long) is a primary requirement for the successful …

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 …

Utilising novel ingredients in aquafeeds is necessary for the continued expansion and
intensification of aquaculture production. Microalgae are utilised widely in aquaculture for a …

There is an urgent need to find alternatives to fish meal and fish oil in compound feeds due
to their rapidly rising prices and the demand for sustainable fisheries. Spirulina, a …

Vitamin E is a generic term for a group of lipid‐soluble molecules, the tocopherols and
tocotrienols, which have a function in the protection of organisms against lipid oxidation and …

Broodstock diet formulations are essential for the development of marine fish breeding and
propagation. Japanese research has mainly focused on red sea bream (Pagrus major) …
