Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
A feeding experiment was conducted for 10 weeks with Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis juveniles (33.1-35.9 g initial body weight) using three dietary fat levels (11.7, 15 and 19.3%). The results showed that increasing dietary fat content increased growth, feed efficiency and protein utilization of perch (P < 0.05) but did not affect mortality. Lipid analysis showed that the composition of some perch tissues were also significantly affected by increasing dietary fat content, with an increase of lipid deposition in the viscera (from 64.9% in fish fed 11.7 % fat to 78.8% in fish fed 19.3% fat) and liver (from 12.4 to 23.8%) (P < 0.05), while the muscle composition was not affected by the dietary treament. High docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, DHA) and high docosahexaenoic acid/eicosapentoenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) ratios were found in the liver and muscle lipids as compared to the dietary fatty acid compositions, suggesting that Eurasian perch might possess a high capability of converting the long chain highly unsaturated fatty acids, especially DHA from its dietary precursors. |
