“…Moreover, they reported that carnivorous Heterodontus portusjacksoni, which feed on the macro-algae-consuming sea urchins and sea snails, also contained high levels of AA (13.8%) in their muscle TL (25). A few other reports also suggested that in fishes containing high levels of AA, the AA levels are influenced by dietary lipids (22)(23)(24)(25).…”

To identify a stable resource of 20:4 n-6 (arachidonic acid, AA) in marine fish tissues, the lipid profiles of Siganus fuscescens organs (muscle, liver, and other viscera) and stomach contents were examined throughout the year. Crude total lipid (TL) contents in respective organs showed seasonal variations and were high in winter and low in summer. The main FA in TL were 16:0, 18:0, 16:1n-7, 18:1n-9, AA, and 22:6n-3 (DHA). These FA were those generally observed in marine fish lipids, except for comparatively high levels of AA. In TL of muscle and liver, AA showed relatively high values during the period from late May to August (muscle, 4.6-13.1%; liver, 4.5-9.1%), compared with other seasons (muscle, 4.3-9.5%; liver, 3.6-8.4%). The AA levels in TL of other viscera and stomach contents fluctuated (other viscera, 2.0-10.7%; stomach contents, 7.6-26.7%). Regardless of the fishing season, each organ contained a higher level of AA in polar lipids (PL) than in neutral lipids. It was concluded that the fish contain comparatively high levels of AA in their TL throughout the year, and they accumulate AA characteristically in their tissue PL, probably from dietary food sources. Moreover, it was suggested that S. fuscescens has potential utility as a natural marine source of nutritional lipids, because the fish contain comparatively high levels of DHA and AA.

“…Species particularly rich in MUFAs included pencil smelt, Nansenias p. (61 ± 3 %); viper fish, Chauliodus sloani (57 %); rudder fish, Tubbia tasmanica (56 %); and red bait, Emmelichthys nitidus (55 %) 46 . Pethybridge H et al (2010) compared the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) content in cephalopods with the results of 78 and found that the cephalopods were rich in (6-15 %) and relatively low in arachidonic acid, C20:4ω-6 (1-3%) 46,79 found that the percentage composition of fatty acids in the lipid classes of wing head shark's (Eusphyra blochii) liver and found that the SFA ranged from 56 % to 70.12 %. Palmitic acid was predominant and its composition ranged from 36.63 % to 46.97 % while stearic acid ranged from 9.34 % to 17.49 %.…”

In the present investigation, the hooded cuttlefish Sepia prashadi were collected from Mudasalodai landing centre, east coast of Tamil Nadu, India. Collected animals were dissected for their liver (digestive gland) and the dried liver was ground well and the cuttlefish liver oil was extracted. The percentage of oil yield was noted as 32.45 %. The extracted liver oil was used for estimating total lipids, triglycerides, total cholesterol, High Density Lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL), Low Density Lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL), Very Low Density Lipoproteins cholesterol (VLDL) and free fatty acids. The fatty acid composition of the liver oil such as Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA), Mono Unsaturated Fatty acids (MUFA) and Poly Unsaturated Fatty acids (PUFA) was analyzed using GC-MIS. The results of the present study revealed that the cuttlefish (S. prashadi) liver oil was found to contain more MUFA and also contain considerable amount of triglycerides and cholesterol. The cuttlefish oil can be used as a bio enrichment of live feeds and the residual waste during oil production can be used as manure, poultry feed, bio diesel production, etc. Moreover production of oil from the animal wastes such as liver is an eco-friendly process and can reduce the environment pollution. The quality of oil can be improved to increase the PUFA content for human consumption. Apart from all the above advantages, cuttlefish oil can be used as an alternative to fish oil, as it is very easy and cheap to produce than the fish oils.
