The Role of Dietary Fatty Acids in Modulating Blue Crab (<i>Callinectes sapidus</i>) Physiology, Reproduction, and Quality Traits in Captivity

The invasive blue crab is challenging the Mediterranean basin, progressively declining local populations. This reflects a lower prey availability and suitability of dietary nutrients (mainly n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, PUFA). The present study aimed to challenge blue crab males and females with...
