Caprellid amphipods: An overlooked marine finfish aquaculture resource? (2009, background): “The essential fatty acids (EFAs) for fish are considered to comprise polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) with carbon chain lengths of 18, and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) with carbon length chains of 20 and 22, of both n−3 and n−6 series (Leaver et al., 2008).”
Nutritional Value of Fish: Lipids, Proteins, Vitamins, and Minerals (2018, background): “was also discussed that the ability of fish to synthetize n3 LC-PUFA depends on their particular metabolic and life-history adaptations to varied environments (Leaver et al., 2008).”
Elongation of long-chain fatty acids in rabbitfish Siganus canaliculatus: Cloning, functional characterisation and tissue distribution of Elovl5- and Elovl4-like elongases (2012, methodology): “To date, no elovl2 cDNA has been isolated from a marine fish species, and this had been hypothesised as a factor potentially contributing to their limited ability for DHA biosynthesis (Leaver et al., 2008; Morais et al., 2009).”
Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and aquaculture in perspective (2015, background): “…subject to nutritional regulation and are up-regulated, generally by up to 2-3–fold, in fish fed VO-based diets compared to fish fed FO-based diets (Leaver et al., 2008a; Torstensen and Tocher, 2011; Vagner and Santigosa, 2011) and this has been shown to produce a similar increase in LC-PUFA…”
