Abstract

Different levels of trilinolenin (ω3) and trilinolein (ω6) fatty acids were incorporated in 16 trout diets. Results from feeding experiments showed inferior fish growth on diets (a) deficient in ω3 fatty acid (FA), (b) high in ω6 and low in ω3 FAs, and (c) high in both ω3 and ω6 FAs. Diets supporting rapid fish growth were those containing (a) high levels of ω3 FA and (b) high ω3 and low ω6 FAs. Fish lipid fatty acid composition, feed conversion efficiency and fish mortality are discussed.
