Ecological Role of Lipids in the Health and Success of Fish Populations

摘要: The health or fitness of fish populations in aquatic ecosystems can be assessed by a variety criteria ranging from individual biochemical and physiological measures to population level attributes such as growth, reproductive success, year-class strength. Lipid storage dynamics within the organism, however, are particular important attribute future success. Lipids critical not only survival individuals but also success reproduction recruitment year classes population. This chapter discusses four areas which lipids play an role including (1) overwinter starvation survival, (2) energy allocation strategies, (3) performance early life history. (4) environmental stress.
