Abstract:Challenges associated with first feeding have impeded the intensive culture of larval Yellow Perch Perca flavescens. Live-food enrichment with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can increase the growth and survival of larval fish, but this method has not been tested with Yellow Perch. This study includes two experiments that were meant to evaluate (1) the relative proportion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6[n-3]) and arachidonic acid (ARA; 20:4[n-6]) in enrichment emulsions and (2) the provision of PUFA emu… Show more
