Potential physiological mechanisms behind variation in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to biosynthesize EPA and DHA when reared on plant oil replacement feeds by Ken Overturf, Jason Abernathy, Dietmar Kültz, Jacob Bledsoe, Shawn Narum, Thomas Welker

“…The omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3), are of primary concern as they provide significant health benefits such as reducing inflammation and improving heart and health function. However, the DHA; 22:6n-3 and EPA; 20:5n-3 available for aquaculture feeds is primarily provided by fish oil which is already limited in availability and expensive, and dietary lipids are consistently being replaced with oil sourced from plants. …”
