Abstract :
The omega-3 fatty acid content (namely EPA
and DHA) of Tilapia guineensis, Sarotherodon
melanotheron and Mullet from NIOMR fish farm in
Buguma, Rivers State, Nigeria was investigated using
GC-MS. The results showed that the composition of EPA
was always higher than DHA for the three fish species.
The results also showed large quantities of omega-3 fatty
acid in the three fish species. Thus, suggesting that the
three fish species could be used as good sources of these
omega-3 fatty acid.
Keywords :
