Fish lipid nutrition and marine oils: Fish requirements of lipids

Pickova, Jana; Trattner, Sofia

Abstract

The presence of fatty acids of aquatic origin is presented in this chapter. Marine oils in fish feeds and thereby the different species requirements are discussed. Focus on larval stages has been chosen as these are not often discussed in connection to fish lipid nutrition and marine oils. Contrary to adult stages, larval fish have very specific needs and parts of larval requirements are still poorly known and understood.
