摘要

ADEFICIENCY of omega 3 in diets is linked to an increase in mental disorders, a decline in IQand a rise in anti-social behaviour. This was one of the conclusions drawn by Professor Michael Crawford, of Imperial College London, in the opening session of Aquaculture Europe 2017, organised by the European Aquaculture Society and held in Dubrovnik last month.Crawford's talk posed the question: 'Is substitution of fishmeal and fish oil compromising our omega 3 position?'- the answer to which is 'yes'.He credited the success of homo sapiens as a species to the evolution of the human brain - 'it's the brain that makes us different from all other animals'.
