Fatty acid metabolism in young oysters, Crassostrea gigas: Polyunsaturated fatty acids
Abstract Tetraselmis suecica and Dunaliella tertiolecta were grown for 24 hr in the presence of 14 C sodium bicarbonate and then fed separately to batches of juvenile oysters, Crassostrea gigas , for 3 days. D. tertiolecta contained fatty acids no longer than C 18 22∶6ω3 was absent in T. suecica . A...
