Abstract
1.1. Fatty acid composition in liver, muscle and gonads of yellow and silver phases of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) was determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC).2.2. Significantly higher amounts of n-tetradecanol and n-hexadecanol were found in the gonads of silver eels compared to yellow eels.3.3. In the gonads of silver eels the amounts of the unsaturated acids, palmitoleic (16:1), oleic (18:1) and linoleic (18:2), were significantly higher while the amount of palmitic acid (16:0) was significantly lower.4.4. In the liver the amount of stearic (18:0) and arachidonic acid (20:4) was significantly lower, while the amount of linoleic acid (18:2) was significantly higher in the silver phase.
