ABSTRACT:
A method of rearing aquatic species is provided, comprising feeding the aquatic species during at least part of the larval and/or post-larval state with prey organisms, such asArtemiaor rotifers, having in their total lipid content a DHA content of at least 12 wt %. The method is suitable for the rearing of fish species such as halibut, turbot, bass, bream and flounder. The total lipid content of the prey organisms further including highly unsaturated fatty acids comprising 18:3, 18:4, 20:4, 20:5 (EPA) and 22:5 fatty acids. Also the prey organisms include 5 to 35 wt % phospholipids of the total lipid content, wherein the total lipid content is at least 20 wt % on a dry weight basis.
