Despite considerable progress in recent years, many questions regarding fish larval nutrition
remain largely unanswered, and several research avenues remain open. A holistic …

Food uptake follows rules defined by feeding behaviour that determines the kind and
quantity of food ingested by fish larvae as well as how live prey and food particles are …

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 …

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 …

It has been known for almost 25 years now that inclusion of intact phospholipids in the diet
could improve culture performance of various freshwater and marine fish species. The …

Until recently, it was considered impossible to feed newly hatched marine fish species with a
compound diet. Substituting a compound diet for live prey was performed several weeks …

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 feasibility of fish oil (FO) replacement by vegetable oils (VO) was investigated in
gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) in a growth trial conducted for the duration of 8 …

We evaluated the effects of dietary lipid class (phospholipid vs. neutral lipid) and level of n−
3 long‐chain PUFA (LC‐PUFA) on the growth, digestive enzymatic activity, and histological …

Marine phospholipids (MPL) have attracted a great deal of attention recently as they are
considered to have a better bioavailability, a better resistance towards oxidation and a …
