Table 2. L. salmonis fatty acid profiles by stage and treatment.

36 Fatty Acids (FA) were identified, the table columns show the mean weight (ng) of the major FA and the weight of Saturated (SFA), Monounsaturated (MUFA), and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) FA. Profiles are from egg strings and 12 DPH copepodids, which are presented combined and separated by treatment. Treatments are Control (416 µatm), Mid (747 µatm), and High (942 µatm). Sample number and p-values from ANOVA are indicated.
