Interactions between limiting nutrients: Consequences for somatic and population growth of Daphnia magna (2010, background): “It has been shown that a dietary deficiency in both sterols and certain PUFAs impairs growth and reproduction of Daphnia species (Brett et al. 2009; MartinCreuzburg et al. 2009).”
Fish Matters: Importance of Aquatic Foods in Human Nutrition and Global Food Supply (2013, background): “…here, it is important to mention that filter feeding freshwater fish species (such as silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) are also rich sources of EPA/DHA (Steffens and Wirth, 2005), which they derive from freshwater plankton (Brett et al., 2009).”
Essential Biomolecules in Food Webs (2019, background): “Differences in PUFA requirements exist depending on the consumer taxonomic affiliation, its ontogenetic stage and especially egg production (for zooplankton: Brett et al., 2009), which can affect trophic interactions (Müller-Navarra, 2008).”
A fundamental dichotomy in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid abundance between and within marine and terrestrial ecosystems (2017, background): “…in polar oceans, marine organisms characteristically contain relatively high levels of MUFA (particularly 20:1 and 22:1), which are often regarded as biomarkers of zooplankton, such as krill and copepods (Brett et al. 2009) These MUFA are routinely transferred to higher trophic level organisms.”
Diet of whale sharks Rhincodon typus inferred from stomach content and signature fatty acid analyses (2013, background): “Marine zooplankton usually have high levels of PUFA from the ω3 family, with an ω3/ω6 ratio in dominant groups, such as mysids or calanoid copepods, of 7 to 18 (Dalsgaard et al. 2003, Brett et al. 2009).”
Bioconversion of fatty acids at the basis of marine food webs: insights from a compound-specific stable isotope analysis (2012, background): “In general, the marine system is characterized by high levels of ω3-LC-PUFA (EPA and DHA), whereas the freshwater system is characterized by higher levels of 18:2ω6 and 18:3ω3 and some EPA but low DHA (Brett et al. 2009).”
