Two 40-day feeding trials using extruded diets were conducted to assess the effect of a dietary phospholipid (PL) supplementation on growth, survival and fatty acid composition of European sea bass (<i>Dicentrarchus labrax</i>) and turbot (<i>Scophthalmus maximus</i>) from weaning onwards. Two dietary treatments (FO and PL) were tested; both had an identical extruded basis (92,5% total diet weight) coated with a different lipid fraction (7,5% total diet weight). Diet PL contained 2% egg yolk PL (69% pure). In diet FO the PL was replaced by hydrogenated coconut oil. The isolipidic diets contained an equal amount of fish oil ethyl esters providing 1,6% (% diet weight) of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA). A diet water... |
