The modulation capacity of both low LC-PUFAs but high 18C PUFAs precursors dietary supply andincreasing salinity on larval fatty acid metabolic pathways was also investigated. [1-14C]DHA was incorporatedinto larval tissues to a lower extent than [1-14C]ARA or [1-14C] EPA. [1-14C]ARA was significantly less abundantin larval tissues when provided bound to PE than when esterified into PC, indicating that PC is a better phospholipid source to provide LC-PUFA to pikeperch larvae. Radioactivity was mainly recovered into phospholipids,especially that of the three LC-PUFAs ARA, EPA and DHA. All substrates were primarily incorporated into PCexcept [1-14C]ARA which significantly did into PI. Both [1-14C]EPA and [1-14C]DHA showed a similar esterification pattern into lipid classes: PC > PE > PI > TAG, with [1-14C]DHA presenting the highest esterificationinto PE of all radiolabelled compounds (26.3% vs 3.6–14.2%). Although higher rearing salinities tended toincrease Δ6 desaturase activity, no radioactivity from [1-14C]18:2n-6 or [1-14C]18:3n-3 was detected in ARA orEPA, proving a deficiency of Δ5 activity and the inability of pikeperch to biosynthesize DHA. This work providesnovel information on the lipid metabolism of pikeperch at early development necessary for the design of liveprey enrichment protocols and dietary formulations adapted to larval metabolic capabilities.
