Funded Activity Summary

Objectives:
1. Determine baseline lipid class, essential fatty acid and sterol composition data of the local abalone (from the wild)
2. Examine the amounts and proportions of nutritionally important lipid components of the abalone diet through growth rate bioassays. The feasibility of using radioactivity-labelled precursors will be examined as a means of examining uptake and possible bioconversion into biochemically-important compounds
3. Determine is suitable supplements are required by determining assimilation rates and digestibility values of the lipid components oin fish oil based diets (which have compositions different to natural feeds) for abalone. Identify the fish oil, oil blend or modified oil which demonstrates the highest growth rates in abalone within economic constraints.
