In: Raatz, SK, Bibus DM (Editors). Fish and Fish Oil in Health and Disease Prevention. 1st Edition. Cambridge, UK: Academic Press. Ch 13. Interpretive Summary: The consumption of seafood (fish, molluscs, crustaceans) is associated with a number of positive health outcomes as a result of nutrient content (e,g, protein, n3 fatty acids, vitamin D). Aquacultural “farmed” sources of marine and freshwater seafood total nearly 50% of total seafood production. Given the ability to modify the breeding and production of select, farmed species, there is the potential to optimize the nutrient quality and quantity in these species. The positive benefits of fish consumption are thought to be related in part to intake of long chain n3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCn3). Aquaculture-derived Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) can be grown to optimize LCn3 and potentially other lipid soluble nutrients. In this chapter, the processes and inputs influencing the content of lipid soluble nutrients in farmed fish for human health outcomes will be discussed.
