n-3 Canola oil effectively replaces fish oil as a new safe dietary source of DHA in feed for juvenile Atlantic salmon

Limited availability of fish oils (FO), rich in n -3 long-chain (≥C 20 ) PUFA, is a major constraint for further growth of the aquaculture industry. Long-chain n -3 rich oils from crops GM with algal genes are promising new sources for the industry. This project studied the use of a newly developed n -3 canola oil (DHA-CA) in diets of Atlantic salmon fingerlings in freshwater. The DHA-CA oil has high proportions of the n -3 fatty acids (FA) 18 :...
