Effect of dietary cholesterol content on growth and its accumulation in liver and muscle tissues of juvenile yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) by Fernando M Guerra-Olvera, María Teresa Viana

“…Though cholesterol biosynthesis could not be measured in the present work, we discuss the possibility that fish are able to synthesize cholesterol when fed diets containing no or less cholesterol than required, but at the expense of energy consumption, limiting fish growth. We conclude that cholesterol content in aquafeeds affects fish growth when diets are formulated with vegetable ingredients, and the optimal content should be between 2880 and 4120 mg kg–1 of crude fat to avoid consequent cholesterol accumulation in liver or muscle tissues.  …”
