Up-regulated desaturase and elongase gene expression promoted accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) but not long-chain PUFA in lates calcarifer, a tropical euryhaline fish, fed a stearidonic acid- and ?-linoleic acid-enriched diet

The limited activity of 6 fatty acid desaturase (FAD6) on a-linolenic (ALA, 18:3n-3) and linoleic (LA, 18:2n-6) acids in marine fish alters the long-chain (ge;C 20) polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) concentration in fish muscle and liver when vegetable oils replace fish oil (FO) in aquafeeds.
