## Abstract Fish are a virtually unique, rich source of omegaβ3 longβchain polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ο3 LCβPUFA) in the human diet. This article describes the origins of Ο3 LCβPUFA in fish and the increasingly important role of aquaculture in the provision of fish for human consumption. It also
## The production of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in transgenic plants Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) now have a proven role in human health and nutrition, including the n-3 forms normally found in fish oils. Unfortunately, global fish stocks are now more than ever s
