Abstract

Abstract Changes in relative proportions of neutral and total lipid fatty acids in juvenile Atlantic menhaden were progressively reflected during a controlled feeding experiment. The 14:0, 16:0, 16:1 and 18:1 fatty acids were predominant in the neutral and total lipids of a freshly captured fish, whereas the 18:1 and 18:3ω3/20:1ω9 acids were predominant in the neutral and total lipids of cultured brine shrimp nauplii. The relative percentages of 14:0, 16:0 and 16:1 acids in menhaden decreased markedly during the 6 weeks of feeding on nauplii, while the percentages of 18:1 and 18:3ω3/20:1ω9 acids increased significantly.
