The requirement for dietary n−3 HUFA (highly unsaturated fatty acid) for growth and survival of black seabream (Sparus macrocephalus) larvae was tested usingArtemia with various levels of n−3 HUFA. Four treatments withArtemia differing in their n−3 HUFA were prepared by feeding them various oil emulsions. The results indicated that dietary n−3 HUFA significantly influences fish n−3 HUFA levels and are necessary for good growth and survival of black seabream larvae. The proper value of n−3 HUFA level and DHA

EPA level inArtemia should be 4.273% and 0.873% (wet weight) for good growth and survival in black seabream larvae respectively.
