Abstract
Data reveal a very large variation in fatty acid pattern of oil from the same species of fish even when each batch of oil represents many thousands of individual fish. The necessity for using samples involving a much larger number of fish for studies to determine fatty acid patterns for a given species is emphasized. Other sources of error are considered briefly.Keywords
