Abstract
The common ragworm Hediste diversicolor is a potential high quality fatty acids source for reared fish and shrimp. Previous studies suggested that diet could be a relevant factor affecting the fatty acid composition of this polychaete (Luis and Passos, 1995). This study aimed to assess the effect of different diets on growth and survival of common ragworms juveniles (H. diversicolor), as well as the fatty acid profile and protein content in their tissues, aiming to find an appropriate diet to be used in commercial aquaculture.
