Physiological mechanisms of Zn, Mn and Se effect on bone development and mineralization.

ESR6 Sustainable development of aquaculture asks for high quality ingredients to replace fishmeal and fish oil and fulfilling nutritional requirements This replacement presently leads to several skeletal alterations suggesting nutritional imbalances eg Zn Mn and Se are lower in plant ingredients Optimal dietary levels of Zn Mn and Se for skeletal health in seabream will be determined d14 M40 and the physiological mechanisms investigated through mutant fish models
