  • Title: Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) as a net producer of long-chain marine ω-3 fatty acids.
    Author: Sanden M, Stubhaug I, Berntssen MH, Lie Ø, Torstensen BE.
    Journal: J Agric Food Chem; 2011 Dec 14; 59(23):12697-706. PubMed ID: 22017199.
    Abstract:
    The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of replacing high levels of marine ingredients with vegetable raw materials and with emphasis on lipid metabolism and net production of long-chain polyunsaturated ω-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA). Atlantic salmon were fed three different replacement vegetable diets and one control marine diet before sensory attributes, β-oxidation capacity, and fatty acid productive value (FAPV) of ingested fatty acids (FAs) were evaluated. Fish fed the high replacement diet had a net production of 0.8 g of DHA and a FAPV of 142%. Fish fed the marine diet had a net loss of DHA. The present work shows that Atlantic salmon can be a net producer of marine DHA when dietary fish oil is replaced by vegetable oil with minor effects on sensory attributes and lipid metabolism.
