Abstract
There was essentially no database on the fatty acid composition of fish available in China. Twenty-seven kinds of fish and 20 kinds were purchased in Dalian- and Hangzhou-city, China, respectively, and edible part was analyzed for the fatty acid composition. Three kinds of fish were purchased in both cities, but they contained markedly different amounts of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Those kinds of fish in Hangzhou-city had more n-3 PUFA than those in Dalian-city. This was probably because fish were purchased in winter in Hangzhou-city and in summer in Dalian-city. Our data were limited in terms of the area and season of catch, and the number of species. However, our database would serve as the starting point for the fatty acid composition study of Chinese fish.
