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.
