Abstract: Total fat and fatty acid composition of seven fresh-water and nine marine fish commercially important in Brazil were determined. Palmitic acid was the predominant saturated fatty acid in both freshwater and marine fish. In the fat from freshwater fish the total C-16 fatty acids were higher than in marine fish. Oleic acid was the most abundant monounsaturated fatty acid and it was found in higher levels in freshwater fish. The data revealed that most freshwater fish from Brazil examined were a poor source of ei… Show more

“…DHA content was above 3.0% in meat of all the fi shes but varied in viscera (1.0-8.9%) with the highest being in tilapia. Lower amounts of EPA and DHA was reported in commercially important fresh water fi shes from Brazil (Gutierrez and da Silva 1993). The characteristic difference between marine fi sh and fresh water fi sh has been indicated to be the higher levels of C16:0 and C18:0 acid and lower levels of C20:0 and C22:0 acids in fresh water fi shes (Ackman 1967, Nair andGopakumar 1978).…”

“…Andrade et al [15], studying specimens acquired in the retail market in Maringá (Paraná State, Brazil), found for mandi-amarelo a total lipid value (5.50%) similar to that obtained in the present study, whereas the value for barbado was higher (19.75%) and that for jurupoca was lower (2.98%). Gutierrez and Silva [16] found a total lipid value of 7.08% for mandi (unreported species) acquired in the Piracicaba (São Paulo State) retail market.…”

“…Values from 1.00 to 1.74% for eicosenoic acid (C20:1) were found for all the species studied, and the presence of MUFA with 24 carbons (C24:1 x-9, nervonic acid) was detected only in the mandi species. High levels of palmitoleic acid have been described as characteristic of freshwater species [16,[20][21][22].…”

“…Oils from extracted HM and RO were mixed at a ratio 10:7, respectively, to achieve a total fatty acid composition comparable to that of a South American FO . The total content of n‐3 PUFA in the final mix was thus lower than in the HM oil, while the contribution of monounsaturated fatty acids from RO lowered the content of saturated fatty acids in the mixture compared to the respective levels in the HM oil (Table ).…”
