 note = {The essential fatty acid requirements of Tilapia nilotica were examined by the 4-week feeding trials
using the defined, artificial diets at water temperatures of 20°C and 28°C. The test diets contained
1.0% levels of 18:1ω9, 18:2ω6, 18:3ω3, 20:4ω6, or ω3-HUFA (60% 20:5ω3 and 40% 22:6ω3)
in addition to 4.0% 18:1ω9 as dietary lipids. The highest weight gains were observed on the diets
supplemented with 1.0% levels of 18:2ω6 or 20:4ω6. These indicated that T.nilotica requires
ω6-fatty acids such as 18:2ω6 and 20:4ω6 rather than ω3-fatty acids in contrast to other fishes.
However, the effects of water temperatures on the EFA requirements of T.nilotica were not clarified in
the present study due to the poor growth of this fish at 20°C.},
