Acidic composition of gilthead seabream fillets (Sparus aurata L.) fed with different lipid sources: preliminary evaluation

Abstract

Dietary lipids play an important role in fish nutrition as a source provision of body energy and essential fatty acids (EFA) (Sargent et al., 1999). The low availability and the high exspense of fish oil could suggest the use of an alternative lipid source in aquaculture (Turchini et al., 2000). Alternative sources of PUFA are represented by vegetable oils, but their composition is not satisfactory for the requirements of the different species of rearing fishes...
