Total lipid and fatty acid composition of polar and neutral lipids in different tissues of atlantic halibut,Hippoglossus hippoglossus(L.)

Abstract
Analyses of total lipid contents, neutral and polar lipids and their fatty acid compositions were carried out on different tissues of spawning Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus, taken in January - February. Liver had the highest total lipid content amounting to over 50 % of the dry weight of the tissue. The lipid fractions of all tissues examined were dominated by neutral lipids which comprised approximately 75 % of the lipid fraction. Triacylglycerols were the dominant neutral lipid. The neutral lipid fraction contained high concentrations of 18: 1 fatty acid, whereas the polar lipid fraction had a high content of the w-3 fatty acids 20:5 and 22:6.
