Increasing dietary n-6 fatty acids while keeping n-3 fatty acids stable decreases EPA in polar lipids of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Abstract: There is an increased use of vegetable oils containing n-6 in aquafeeds and several trials indicate that there might be an increased requirement of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for Atlantic salmon when they are fed higher dietary n-6 fatty acids (FA). With a limited supply of EPA and DHA for production of aquafeeds, it is important to know how to efficiently use these FA to maintain growth and health of the fish. In the current trial, three diets containing equal amounts of n-3 FA… Show more

“…The experimental diets were produced by Skretting ARC (Stavanger, Norway). The formulation for the experimental diets is shown in Table 1 (previously published in Hundal et al, 2020). A total of four different diets were formulated to contain different absolute contents of n-6 and n-3 FA and n-6/n-3 ratios from 1.0-6.0.…”

“…The fourth diet was formulated to contain double the amount of n-3 FA as compared to first three diets (20 g/kg of EPA + DHA in the final feed), but with an n-6/n-3 ratio of 1, like the first diet. The experimental diets are referred in the text according to their dietary n-6/n-3 ratios and named diet 1, diet 2, diet 6 and diet 1H (diet 1H, due to its higher absolute contents of n-3 and n-6 FA compared to diet 1) (previously published in Hundal et al, 2020). All the experimental diets were produced from a common dry meal mixture and differed only in the combination of oils used to adjust the n-3 and n-6 FA content of the extruded pellets.…”
