[Quantitative needs for n-3 series polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acids in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) larvae].

Abstract

Turbot larvae were fed on rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) which had been supplemented with fatty acids. The n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (AGLPI n-3, C greater than or equal to 20) requirement of Turbot larvae was estimated above 1.3 g per 100 g dry weight of rotifers.
