Reevaluating Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Essentiality in Hybrid Striped Bass

Understanding fatty acid requirements in multiple taxa is necessary to determine the degree to which dietary fish oil can be reduced or replaced with less costly, more abundant lipid sources. The polyunsaturated fatty acid ( PUFA ) requirements of hybrid Striped Bass (White Bass Morone chrysops × Striped Bass M. saxatilis ) are currently reported as 0.5–1.0% eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n‐3) and/or docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n‐3). This requirement...
