Abstract: Dietary lipids play an essential role in the development and growth of the aquaculture industry. They are the basic source of energy and essential fatty acids to produce the final products in this sector. The increase in demand for high value fishery products and competition from other industries has exerted much pressure on the main dietary ingredients for fish. This has called for the search of alternative measures to be employed in replacing this resource. However, this replacement has come with its complications on some nutrient deficiencies which still leaves a gap open to fill with other alternatives whereas, other sources have not been deeply explored. This study presents work overview on corn oil as a potential dietary lipid source to replacing dietary fish oil in aquafeeds. On-going studies and trends in corn oil use and production has been briefly discussed, coupled with its qualities compared to other oil sources, availability and cost effectiveness. The review concludes that, corn oil does not impair growth when used in diets for some species. Its possession of vitamin E and strong antioxidant properties makes it essential to packaging and storage whiles digestibility and immune systems of consumers are boosted with this oil. Much has not been researched into this oil as other alternative lipids and as such a detailed study to explore its full potential will practically impact the aquaculture sector and contribute to its growth and development and also for consumers welfare.
