“…By comparison golden pompano larvae that were fed several enriched Artemia nauplii diets from 11 to 27 DPH, showed a slightly lower requirement for DHA (5% of total FAs), but relatively similar requirements for EPA, ARA, LA, and LNA (6.7, 1.3, 3, and 1% of total FAs, respectively; Ma et al, 2016). (Seychelles et al, 2011;Martinez-Silva et al, 2018). The dashed lines (ratio = 1) indicate equal amounts of fatty acids in larvae and in the diet.…”

“…One interesting method used to determine the prey's nutritional quality in terms of EFA is the ratio of specific fatty acids in larval or early juvenile tissues to the total fatty acids present in the prey [the fish to diet (FD) ratio]. This FD ratio indicates whether a specific prey fatty acid is selectively incorporated by larvae and juveniles (Copeman et al, 2002;Pernet and Tremblay, 2004;Gendron et al, 2013;Martinez-Silva et al, 2018). If the relative proportion of a specific fatty acid in larvae or juveniles to their diet is equal to or below 1, then the specific requirement for this fatty acid could be considered as satisfied.…”

To improve survival at early developmental stages (larvae and juveniles) of captive fish species, essential nutrients [i.e., essential fatty acids (EFA)] need to be identified. The physiological needs are likely to be different among species, particularly among those using different thermal habitats, because lipids are largely used to maintain cell membrane integrity (homeoviscous adaptation) in fishes. This review paper will focus on currently published research and the main results from our laboratories regarding optimum qualitative EFA requirements during larval and early juvenile stages in a warm-water marine species, the Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus), and a cold-water marine species, the winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus). To identify the qualitative optimal EFA requirements, we calculated the ratio of certain fatty acids (FA) in larval or early juvenile tissues to total FA present in the diet. This ratio indicates whether a specific FA from prey is selectively incorporated by larvae and juveniles. Overall, we found that young larvae from both cold- and warm-water species have greater demands for n-3 and n-6 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) than do larvae at weaning stages. However, the qualitative EFA requirements of the cold-water species at all early developmental stages were higher than those of the warm-water species. Enriched rotifer diets provided satisfactory amounts of omega 3 and omega 6 in Florida pompano, with small selective retention for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and arachidonic acid (ARA), suggesting a potential minor diet deficiency in these EFA. There were higher deficiencies in the cold-water species fed enriched rotifers, as demonstrated by the higher selective retentions of all EFA (DHA, EPA, and ARA), with the exception of larvae fed with copepods. The physiological needs in EFA for juvenile development seemed to be better met for both species when they were fed micro pellets. From the beginning of settlement and in young juveniles, qualitative values of 12% DHA, 10% EPA, 5% ARA, and 40% PUFA of total FA seem to be required for winter flounder juvenile development. In Florida pompano, these requirements could be met until larger juvenile stages, with 15% DHA, 3% EPA, 2% ARA, 2% DPA, and total PUFA below 30% of total FA. This review was done to aid future research aiming to develop nutritionally balanced microdiets or live-prey enrichment diets to satisfy the physiological requirements of captive tropical and cold-water marine fish species.

“…The development of culture techniques suitable for this species has been ongoing for many years (Fairchild, 2010; Litvak, 1999). Larval rearing protocols have already been successfully developed (Ben Khemis, Audet, Fournier, & De La Noüe, 2003; Ben Khemis, De La Noue, & Audet, 2000; Litvak, 1999; Litvak, Zadmajid, & Butts, 2020; Martinez‐Silva, Audet, Winkler, & Tremblay, 2018) and metamorphosed fish can be weaned onto formulated diets (Bélanger et al, 2018; Butts, Ben Khemis, & Litvak, 2015; Fairchild, Rennels, Howell, & Wells, 2007; Lee & Litvak, 1996a, 1996b). However, postmetamorphic mortality rate of winter flounder reared in the hatchery is still high and pigmentation of juveniles can be poorly developed.…”

Winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, has emerged as a promising candidate flatfish for cold‐water aquaculture and restocking. Here, juveniles were reared for 8 weeks at three temperatures: 10, 15, and 20°C under 24‐hr light. All fish were imaged at stocking and at 2‐week intervals, where growth was measured as changes in standard length (SL) and body area (BA). By week 2, fish reared at 15 and 20°C were larger than those grown at 10°C. At weeks 4 to 6, fish at 15°C were larger than fish at 20°C. Linear regressions were used to model growth dynamics over time at each temperature. Highly significant linear growth trajectories were detected over time for SL and BA. SL and BA regressions also showed a significant difference among the slopes across temperatures, where comparing slopes showed the best temperature to rear the flounder was 15°C. Weights of fish held at 15°C and 20°C were greater than at 10°C at the termination of the experiment. Within each temperature, the growth rate of malpigmented fish was not different from that of the normally pigmented fish. Overall, growth of winter flounder was comparable to that of other commercially produced flatfish species, providing strong evidence for this flatfish species as a potential species for aquaculture.
