Camelina oil (CO) is a potential lipid replacement for fish oil (FO) in aquaculture feeds due to its high lipid content (40%), high levels of α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3ω3) (30%), antioxidants, and low levels of saturated fatty acids. Five feeding experiments were conducted to determine the effectiv...
