Nandikeswari, R. | Sambasivam, M.
The total lipid content as percentage of dry weight of liver of Terapon puta (Cuvier, 1829) varied at four different stages viz., immature, maturing, mature and spent stages of reproduction. Highest levels of saturated fatty acids (SFA) was recorded in the liver of mature fishes (50.71%) followed by maturing (48.03%) and the lowest in immature fishes (38.91%). Highest levels of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) were observed in the liver of maturing fishes (37.07%) followed by mature (34.09%) and the lowest levels in immature fishes (30.48%). Maturing fishes had higher liver polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (PUFA) (13.54%), compared to immature (10.55%) and mature fishes (10.17%).
