Brief Project Summary:

Nutritional and medical communities have recommended increasing consumption of long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids Seafood remains the most effective means of incorporating these nutrients in to the human diet. Cultured fish can be an excellent source of these long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids, however, the use of alternative lipids in aquafeeds can reduce these fatty acids in the fillet. Using fish oil in the "finishing" diet may be an effective way to increase the long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish fed alternative lipid-based diets during the grow-out period.

This project will assess traditional low saturated fatty acid, low alpha-linolenic acid, high...
