Vegetable oils (VO) have become the predominant substitute for fish oil (FO) in aquafeeds; however, the resultant lower content of n -3long-chain (≥C20) PUFA ( n -3 LC-PUFA) in fish has put their use under scrutiny. The need to investigate new oil sources exists. The presentstudy tested the hypothes...
