Dietary Supplementation With Fish Oil Enhances the Growth and Reproductive Performance of Female Broodstock <i>Haliotis discus hannai</i>.

ABSTRACT: Macroalgae have long been utilized as a natural feed source in abalone aquaculture. The switch to formulated feeds improves nutritional control while reducing the cost instability of natural feeds. Recently, lipid supplementation has received a lot of attention since it is essential to the early developmental and broodstock stages of aquatic species. The present study aimed to investigate how the growth and reproductive performances of female broodstock Haliotis discus hannai were affected by the dietary supplementation of five lipids: fish oil (FO), perilla seed oil (PO), safflower oil (SO), olive oil (OO), and lard (LO). A total of 500 adult female abalones were randomly divided into five groups (four replicates per group) and fed with five lipid-supplemented diets for 90 days. Th
