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 …

Despite the recent progress in the production of inert diets for fish larvae, feeding of most
species of interest for aquaculture still relies on live feeds during the early life stages …

This review provides a background on the usage of microalgae in aquaculture, focusing on
their nutritional value and transfer of nutrients through food chains. The current status of …

Microalgae (ie single-celled algae or phytoplankton) represent the largest, yet one of the
most poorly understood groups of microorganisms on Earth. As happens with plants relative …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid composed of 22 carbon atoms
and six double bonds. Because the first double bond, as counted from the methyl terminus …

Two single cell heterotrophs were produced as alternative sources of docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA; 22: 6 n-3) to fisheries-derived oils. Schizochytrium G13/2S or Crypthecodinium cohnii …

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 …
