Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lipids and fatty acids are the major organic constituents of fish, and they play major roles as the sources of metabolic energy for growth, reproduction and movement. Furthermore, the fatty acids of fish lipids are rich in ω3 long-chain n-3 HUFAs that have particularly important roles in animal nutrition. Indeed, fish are the most important food source of these vital nutrients for man. Thus, the longstanding interest in fish lipids stems from their abundance and uniqueness. The aim and scope of this Special Issue attempts to concentrate on the knowledge of various aspects of basic biochemistry, metabolism and function of fatty acids and lipids in fish, and highlight the areas that require investigation in greater depth, along with the increasing application of molecular technologies in fish lipid metabolism, which will further facilitate advances through molecular, biological and genetic techniques, including genomics and proteomics.
