Polyunsaturated fatty acids in total lipid and phospholipids of chilean scallop Argopecten purpuratus (L.) larvae: effects of diet and temperature

The composition of lipids and fatty acids of larval scallop Argopecten purpuratus were determined when cultured at one of two temperatures and using one of the three algal diets. Larvae grown at 12 °C had the lowest values of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and highest values of cholesterol and steryl esters (SE). The ratio of triacylglycerol (TAG)/cholesterol was affected by temperature but not by diet and the lowest values were observed in larvae...
