Biochemical composition of juvenile cultured vs. wild silver pomfret, Pampus argenteus: determining the diet for cultured fish.
TLDR
The biochemical composition of juvenile cultured and wild silver pomfret Pampus argenteus was evaluated and the results will be useful for determining the dietary requirements for culture of SF.Abstract:
We evaluated the biochemical composition of juvenile cultured and wild silver pomfret Pampus argenteus. Cultured silver pomfret (SF) had significantly (P < 0.05) lower crude protein content and higher crude lipid content than wild SF. Concentrations of almost all amino acids, except glycine and arginine, were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in wild SF compared to cultured SF. Further, wild SF had a significantly (P < 0.05) higher concentration of total amino acids (TAA), essential amino acids (EAA), and a higher essential amino acid index (EAAI) than cultured SF. Saturated fatty acids (SFA) in cultured SF were significantly higher than in wild SF. However, the content of poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and n-3 fatty acids in wild SF was significantly higher than in cultured SF. Mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in cultured and wild SF were not significantly different. Fatty acids C16:0 and C18:1 were the principal fatty acids of the SFAs and MUFAs, respectively, in both cultured and wild SF. The results will be useful for determining the dietary requirements for culture of SF.read more

An Overview of the Use of Fatty Acids in Fish Farming Research during the Last Decade, with Particular Emphasis on Fish Quality
TL;DR: Findings indicate that certain issues need to be addressed regarding adequate description of analytical methods followed for FA analysis, presentation and interpretation of FA results and may help to highlight critical points that should be considered from the researchers' and scientific journals' sides in order to foster more informative research publications.

Effects of varying dietary docosahexaenoic acid levels on growth, proximate composition and tissue fatty acid profile of juvenile silver pomfrets, Pampus argenteus (Euphrasen, 1788)
TL;DR: Better growth performance and higher whole body DHA:EPA ratios and n-3:n-6 ratios observed in fish fed diets 2 and 3 suggests that silver pomfret juveniles have a higher requirement for n- 3 fatty acids, notably DHA for optimum growth and survival.

Fat composition of free living and farmed sea species:: implications for human diet and sea‐farming techniques
R. George,R. Bhopal +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that farmed fish have a higher fat content and a different fat composition to wild fish is supported and it is suggested that more detailed studies, are required to compare the fat compositions of the various types of wild andFarmed fish.

Survival and growth of larval striped bass (Morone saxatilis) fedArtemia enriched with highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA)
C.A. Lemm,D.P. Lemarie +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggested a requirement by larval striped bass for long-chain highly unsaturated fatty acids and an inability, at this stage of development, to elongate and desaturate the shorter chain fatty acids in sufficient amounts to meet this requirement.
