Six northwest Atlantic finfish species as a potential fish oil source
1990

Lipid, cholesterol, and fatty acid data were determined for six species of fish caught off the coast of Massachusetts on several sampling dates. The fattier fish (greater than 5% fat) had low calculated levels of cholesterol per gram of fat (2-14 mg/g) However, low levels of cholesterol in edible flesh (50 mg/100g) amounted to large amounts of cholesterol per gram fat (17-70 mg/g) for lean fish (less than 5% fat). Wide fluctuations in fat content of the fatty species were paralleled by changes in fatty acid composition. All species would yield about 35% 20-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) if the 20-carbon monoenes were removed.
