dc.description.abstract	Three important myctophid species of fish viz., Diaphus watasei, Diaphus luetkeni and Myctophum obtusirostre from commercial deep-sea shrimp trawlers operated off Quilon, Kerala, India were collected and analysed for lipid profile to elucidate its importance a dietary component with a view to understand its health benefits. Immediately after catch the fishes were iced immediately and were transported to the laboratory in 24 hours. The lipid profile of myctophids showed that they are rich in triacylglycerides (TAG). Saturated fatty acids were the predominated fatty acids (45–47 %) followed by monounsaturated (27–31 %) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (21–25 %). Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and arachidonic acid were major PUFAs. Myctophids were a good source of fat soluble vitamins.	en_US
