Omega-3 fats in vegetable oils: Improving their benefits

虽然西方国家的权威卫生机构建议增加omega-3脂肪的摄入量，但全球鱼类种群已经处于压力之下，无法维持这一建议的普遍接受。水产养殖业的扩大也不能满足目前使用野生鱼或鱼粉或鱼油作为饲料的ω-3脂肪的需求。该项目将解决鱼类如何处理植物油（如菜籽油、亚麻籽和蓝蓟）中的欧米伽-3脂肪酸的知识缺口。澳大利亚在农业和水产养殖方面处于有利地位，可以利用这项研究的价值。

While authoritative health agencies in Western countries recommend increased intake of omega-3 fats, fish stocks world-wide are already under stress and could not sustain the general uptake of this advice. Nor could aquaculture expansion meet the demand for omega-3 fats with current practices of using wild fish or fish meal or fish oil for feed. This project will address the knowledge gap in how fish handle the omega-3 fatty acids from vegetable oils such as canola, flaxseed and echium. Australia is well placed in agriculture and aquaculture to capture the value of this research.
