“…Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA,20:5ω3), docosahexaenoic (DHA,22:6ω3) and arachidonic (ARA, 20:4ω6) acids play important roles in fish growth, metabolism (Sargent et al, 2002), neural development, health and reproduction (Sargent et al, 1999;Tocher, 2010Tocher, , 2015. They are also important structural components of cell membranes (Calder, 2013), and act as precursors to eicosanoid metabolites such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, docosanoids, maresins and resolvins which regulate inflammatory and immune response processes (Calder, 2007(Calder, , 2013Arts and Kohler, 2009;Martinez-Rubio et al, 2013;Holen et al, 2015;Montero et al, 2019). The levels of EPA and DHA in fish feeds showed a large reduction (from ∼ 20 to 5% of dietary lipid) over the past ∼3 decades (Einen and Thomassen, 1998;Ytrestøyl et al, 2015;Sprague et al, 2016), due to decreasing global availability and rising market price of their fish oil (FO) sources (Turchini et al, 2009;Tacon and Metian, 2015;Froehlich et al, 2018).…”
