The effect of algal and artificial diets on the growth and fatty acid composition ofCrassostrea gigasSpat

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.
