Fatty acid composition in cultured Amphiascoides neglectus (Copepoda: Harpacticoida)

This study investigates the effect of salinity on the fatty acid profile of a harpacticoid copepod Amphiascoides neglectus exposed to constant laboratory lighting and temperature (25-26oC) at pH7 for 40 days. The results were compared with those cultured in the common open hatchery environment wh...
