Biochemical changes during the embryonic development of Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus.
TL;DR: The objectives of the present study were to investigate the total and free amino acid profiles and lipid dynamics (lipid classes and fatty acids) during embryogenesis of Nephrops norvegicus, in order to understand the early larval protein and lipid requirements.

Spatial and temporal variation of the fatty acid composition of Patella spp. (Gastropoda: Prosobranchia) soft bodies and gonads.
TL;DR: Analysis of variance on the fatty acid composition of P. depressa gonads and P. ulyssiponensis soft body fatty acid profiles revealed significant differences between sexes; males showed significantly higher percentages of PUFA, highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), (n-3) fatty acids and ARA, while in females significantly higher proportions of MUFA were found.
Fatty acid profile of palaemon serratus (palaemonidae) eggs and larvae during embryonic and larval development using different live diets
Luís Narciso,Sofia Morais +1 more
TL;DR: This paper describes the changes occurring in the fatty acid profile of four developmental stages of Palaemon serratus eggs, newly hatched Zoea I larvae, and ZoeA I starved for 24 and 48 hours, with the purpose of assessing larval fatty acid requirements.

Effect of an experimental microparticulate diet on the growth, survival and fatty acid profile of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) larvae
TL;DR: The results revealed that the complete replacement of live prey with the tested microparticulate diet is still not possible in S. aurata larval rearing, Nevertheless, better growth and survival results and a substantial reduction in the daily supply of live food can be achieved with a combination of microdiet and live prey.

Eggs of gilthead seabream Sparus aurata L. as a potential enrichment product of Brachionus sp. in the larval rearing of gilthead seabream Sparus aurata L.
TL;DR: The potential of gilthead seabream eggs as an enrichment product to be used in the feeding of the first larval stages of Sparus aurata L. is demonstrated and emphasized the need to have an overall perspective of the nutritional requirements of the organisms in culture.
