Effect of Poly-Unsaturated Fatty Acids Fortification on Growth Performance, Survival, Fatty Acid Composition and Antioxidant Balance of Meagre, Argyrosomus regius Larvae

A total of 120 meagre, Argyrosomus regius, larvae (0.37 0.02 g) were assigned to four treatments (three replicates each) to determine the optimum dietary level of PUFAs, at which there will be the best growth performance, feed utilization, fatty acids composition and antioxidant status. The treatments were a control group (fed a basal diet 3% PUFAs of total fatty acids) and another three groups fed PUFAs supplemented diets at levels 4.55, 6% and 7% for 21 days.
