✦ Synopsis

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 subject to over-fishing and environmental pollution, indicating the need for an alternative source of fish oils. Recent efforts have focussed on the production of LC-PUFA in transgenic plants to provide a sustainable and clean source of fish oils. The current progress in this area is considered, as well as the bottlenecks that remain to be overcome.

## Abstract Fish are a virtually unique, rich source of omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 LC‐PUFA) in the human diet. This article describes the origins of ω3 LC‐PUFA in fish and the increasingly important role of aquaculture in the provision of fish for human consumption. It also
