Effects of dietary linolenic acid to linoleic acid ratio on growth performance, proximate composition and fatty acid contents of pacu ( Piaractus mesopotamicus )

Abstract: Increasing the consumption of healthy foods such as those containing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) of the n-3 series, mainly the eicosapentaenoic (EPA; 20:5n-3), a precursor of eicosanoids that have anti-inflammatory action, and docosahexaenoic (DHA; 22:6n-3), which favours the prevention of cardiovascular, mental and retinal diseases, is a current trend (Cortegano et al., 2019;Swanson et al., 2012) and actually recommended by the WHO (2015) at levels equal to or greater than 200 mg of EPA+D… Show more

“…Thus, EPA/ARA ratio is a vital filet nutritional indicator. Moreover, EPA and ARA both are precursors of bioactive mediators including eicosanoids, which are the indicators of inflammatory processes, being produced from EPA more efficiently and bearing anti-inflammatory action (Gonçalves et al, 2021). In the present experiment, EPA/ARA ratio remained significantly unchanged up to 60% replacement of FO (60 GO).…”

“…However, further studies are needed to highlight its effect on reproduction or other physiological stages. The major constituents of the lipid profile in grass juices found in this study, linoleic and linolenic acids, can be used as a substrate in energy production in fish [29]. Although the final weight was significantly higher in the groups fed diets with wheat and barley grass juice phytogenics, there were no significant differences in the FCR, CF, VSI and HSI parameters in this study.…”
