| Abstract |
Crassostrea gigas spat were fed diets of Pavlova lutheri, Dunaliella tertiolecta or Tetraselmis suecica. The D. tertiolecta diet contained no fatty acid longer or more unsaturated than linolenic acid (18:3?3) and the T. suecica diet was deficient in decosahexaenoic acid (22:6w3). The algal diets were supplemented with micro-encapsulated triolein, oyster lipid extract or 22:6w3. Spat were also starved or fed carbohydrate diets. |
