Abstract:
Tropical fish oils were found to be relatively saturated. The species examined
showed wide variations in myristic acid (2 to 11.3), palmitic (20 to 35) stearic
(7 to 16), C18:1 (7.9 co 24), C20:5 (1 to11) and C22:6 (2 to 10). Mussel lipids and
lipids of mullet contained very high percentages of odd numbered fatty acids,
