Investigation of the Role of Fatty Acid Profile of Food on the Colonization Success of Selected Freshwater Fish Species in Sri Lanka
Many marine fish species ingest essential fatty acids from their food because food items such as micro-crustaceans with oil storage are abundant food items in marine food webs. The fish species of marine origin such as E. fluviatilis and H. limbatus, which are secondarily colonized Freshwaters, may have not been fully adapted to freshwater conditions so that they still have to rely on food containing essential fatty acids (i.e., micro-crustacean zooplankton) for their survival. Non-zooplanktivorous species on the other hand might possess enzymes to synthesize essential fatty acids from their food items of plant origin such as phytoplankton and detritus. Therefore, the present study is formulated to focus on the impacts of the study fatty acid profiles of zooplanktivorous and non-zooplanktivorous fish species together with those of their food items.
