Abstract
Production of hepatic docosahexaenoic acid in juvenile Clarias gariepi nus was significantly increased (P<0.05) by ingestion of rancid diets and this effect was modulated by dietary vitamin E. This has not been described previously in fish. Causal mechanisms are postulated. (C) 19 96 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles
