Abstract:Goldfish were used as a model for the evaluation of canola oil as a lipid source in the feeds of larval and juvenile cyprinids. Goldfish larvae were raised from hatching until 24 weeks of age on diets containing cod liver oil. canola oil or a mixture of the two oils as the lipid source. Survival, weight gain and weight-length relationship did not differ among groups of fish fed the three diets. Carcass fatty acid profiles largely reflected those of the diets except that carcasses of fish fed canola oil contained long chain (n-3) and (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that are not found in canola oil. This indicates that goldfish are capable of producing these fatty acids from 18-carbon precursors. The flesh of fish fed canola oil would be inferior for human nutrition to that offish fed marine oils, due to lower (n-3) PUFA levels. However, the results do indicate that canola oil has good potential as a lipid source in larval cyprinid diets.
