Determining the Net Growth Efficiency of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid in Atlantic Pollock (Pollachius virens) Using a Mass Balance Approach
(2020-12-10)The essential fatty acids (EFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are required for the maintenance of good health in humans. Marine production of EPA and DHA is predicted to decrease as a result ... -
DEVELOPING A CHLOROPHYLL-BASED PREDICTION MODEL FOR EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID (EPA) PRODUCTION IN PHYTOPLANKTON
(2020-08-18)Phytoplankton are ideal candidates for sustainable high-scale production of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). However, a rapid and reliable technique to model EPA production has yet to be ... -
Isolation of Marine Protists for Production of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
(2012-12-14)The aim of this research was to isolate and characterize novel strains of marine protists with potential to commercially produce PUFAs. Twelve trips were made visiting 10 different locations in the Canadian Maritime ... -
Lipid class specific production of EPA and DHA in Phytoplankton Dinoflagellate Heterocapsa Triquetra
(2019-05-08)Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) with a range of health benefits. Phytoplankton are the primary marine producers of EPA and DHA through the process ...
