The deficiency in dietary PL caused a total mortality within 6-7 days. When the prawn larvae were fed carrageenan micro-bound diets with varying levels of supplemental soybean lecithin (SBL), the highest survival rates were obtained on diets with 3% SBL. Soybean phosphatidylcholine (PC) and soybean phosphatidylinositol (PI) showed a higher nutritive value than bonito-egg PC and soybean phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) at a 3% supplemental level. The deficiency in dietary PL resulted in a slight decrease in the concentrations of steryl esters, free sterols, PC, and PI in the bodies. The concentrations of PL such as PC seemed slightly higher in the prawn larvae receiving supplemental soybean PC than other supplemental PL such as soybean PI, soybean PE, and bonito-egg PC. However, the body lipid compositions, on the whole, were not variable notably with the kinds of supplemental PL examined. Also, the sum of 20:5ω3 and 22:6ω3 proportions of body PL was slightly higher in the prawn larvae receiving soybean PC rather than in those receiving other supplemental PL. The results of the present study offer additional evidence for the hypothesis that the PL requirements of prawn larvae are related to the efficient transport of dietary lipids such as cholesterol.}, pages = {17--27}, title = {Growth, Survival, and Body Lipid Composition of the Prawn Larvae Receiving Several Dietary Phospholipids}, volume = {35}, year = {} }
