Abstract
Lipid and fatty acid levels in the edible flesh of 6 freshwater finfish, 60 marine finfish, 9 molluscs, 3 crustaceans, and 6 fish roes from the New Zealand fishing area were determined. Marine wax esters were detected in the fillet of orange roughy (Hoplosthetus atlanticus), black oreo dory (Neocyttus rhomboidalis), and smooth oreo dory (Pseudocyttus maculatus), and in all finfish roes studied. The commonly found distribution of the major fatty acids moieties (i.e., C16:0, C18:l n‐9, C20:5 n‐3, and C22:6 n‐3) in marine oils was observed in all species examined except orange roughy. The n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content of each species is given.Keywords
