Effects of dietary arachidonic acid (ARA) on lipid metabolism and health status of juvenile grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idellus (2014, background): “Unlike marine fish, most freshwater fish has the ability to synthesis HUFA in vivo and the essential fatty acid can be met by LNA and/ or LA (Bell and Sargent, 2003), however, n−3 HUFA supplementation in diet could improve growth performance and benefit physiological characteristics of freshwater fi”
Effect of enriched rotifers on growth, survival, and composition of larval Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) (2006, background): “(ARA) levels in marine fish larvae may be important for stress tolerance, pigmentation, growth, and survival (Bell and Sargent, 2003).”
Effect of sexual maturation on the tissue biochemical composition of Octopus vulgaris and O. defilippi (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) (2004, background): “EPA and ARA are important as structural components of cell membranes and as precursors of prostaglandins (Lilly and Bottino 1981; Bell and Sargent 2003 ).”
Challenges and Opportunities in Finfish Nutrition (2006, background): “Bell and Sargent (2003) reviewed arachidonic acid (ARA) as a supplement in finfish feeds, citing the importance of ARA-derived eicosa-noids to proper immune function.”
