This project investigates the enzymes responsible for synthesizing n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids in cobia, a marine fish. By understanding these fatty acid desaturase enzymes, the project aims to improve the nutritional value of farmed fish and support sustainable aquaculture practices.
Fish are the major dietary source for humans of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) with important roles in human health.
With declining fisheries, farmed fish constitute an increasing proportion of the fish in the food basket. n-3 HUFA in farmed fish has been obtained using fish oils (FO), derived from feed grade marine fisheries, in the feeds.
This practice is not sustainable, and will constrain growth of aquaculture and will further pressurise these dwindling stocks.
In this scenario, s…
