Saturated fatty acid-rich soybean oil spares fish oil in sea bass feed
Fish oil sparing has proven difficult for fish species, like sea bass, that require the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) abundant in fish oil but lacking in most alternative fats and oils used in aquafeeds.

Alternative lipids spare fish oil in rainbow trout feeds
Alternative lipids have achieved varied success in ensuring adequate growth and fatty acid composition in fillets. The authors evaluated rainbow trout raised on diets containing fish oil or a blend of fish and standard or modified lipids varying in fatty acid composition.
