The nutritional profile of dorsal and ventral portions of fillets from farmed yellowtail kingfish (YTK) (Seriola lalandi, Valenciennes, 1833) was assessed in winter and summer months to evaluate if there were differential distributions of proximate constituents, fatty acid composition and mineral content seasonally and through the dorso‐ventral axis. The proximate composition of YTK fillets varied between the two anatomical locations examined. In particular, a relatively large variation was observed in crude fat content, which decreased significantly from ventral to dorsal portions of the fillet and was inversely proportional to moisture and protein content. Higher crude fat content was also observed in the fish sampled in summer, compared to those sampled in winter. The omega 3/6 ratio remained constant between fillet portions but was significantly different between seasons (summer > winter). The index of nutritional quality for EPA and DHA was markedly different regarding to fillet portion and season (summer > winter, ventral > dorsal), and significant differences in the levels of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron were also evident between the seasons examined. This study clearly shows differences in nutritional profiles of fillets from farmed YTK in South Australia relative to anatomical location and season. The increase in knowledge gained from this study may lead to improved farm management practices of YTK, which may extend to other commercially relevant species to enhance the production of premium farmed products.
