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.Keywords
