Food-providing animals for providing human food rich in at least one of the health-promoting n-3 HUFAs (omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids) are selected and then bred so that a greater proportion of dietary n-3 HUFAs and/or their metabolic precursors provided to the animals is conserved in the animals food tissue as n-3 HUFA and transferred into human food. Evidence of heritability, methods for phenotypic or genotypic identification and selection of animals genetically adapted for that function are provided. Animals include farmed mammals and birds, and marine or fresh water animals including fish, crustaceans and molluscs.

La présente invention a trait à des animaux comestibles pour la fourniture d'aliments pour humains riche en au moins un des acides gras de la série n-3 hautement insaturés (acides gras oméga 3 hautement insaturés) favorables à la santé sélectionnés et élevés de sorte qu'une plus grande proportion des acides gras de la série n-3 hautement insaturés soit préservée dans les tissus alimentaires des animaux et transférée dans les aliments pour humains. L'invention a également trait à la mise en évidence de l'héritabilité, des procédés pour l'identification phénotypique ou génotypique et la sélection d'animaux génétiquement adaptés pour cette fonction. Les animaux comprennent des mammifères et d'oiseaux d'élevage, des animaux d'eau de mer ou d'eau douce comprenant les poissons, les crustacées et les mollusques.
