Abstract
- We investigated the nutritional quality of commercially important farmed fish species: sea bream (Sparus aurata), sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), dentex (Dentex dentex), and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). The omega-3 fatty acid content of dentex was twice as high as that of any other fish species, and its eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid contents were 2-4 times higher. The recommended n-3/n-6 ratio was present in all the fish species, but the recommended polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio was not present in the turbot. All the fish species, except turbot, met the recommended atherogenic index, thrombogenic index, and ratio of hypocholesterolaemic to hypercholesterolaemic fatty acids, whereas the highest flesh lipid quality value was observed in the dentex.
