Abstract

Crassostrea gigasspat were fed diets ofPavlova lutheri, Dunaliella tertiolectaorTetraselmis suecica. TheD. tertiolectadiet contained no fatty acid longer or more unsaturated than linolenic acid (18:3ω3) and theT. suecicadiet was deficient in decosahexaenoic acid (22:6ω3). The algal diets were supplemented with micro-encapsulated triolein, oyster lipid extract or 22:6ω3. Spat were also starved or fed carbohydrate diets.
