Abstract

We
have evaluated the fatty acid composition of the livers from two cartilaginous
fish species
Raja clavata (thornback
ray) and
Mustelus mustelus (common
smooth-hound) caught off the Northern Aegean Sea. While there was generally
little variation between species,
Mustelus
mustelus
indicated low saturated (SFA) in summer (29.61%), in spring
(32.57%), in autumn (30.07%) and in winter (31.81%) and high polyunsaturated
fatty acid (PUFA)
in summer (40.35%), in spring
(36.50%), in autumn (30.21%) and in winter (27.26%) levels. The dominant fatty
acids were palmitic acid (C16:0), oleic acid (C18:1 (n-9)), eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA; C20:5 (n-3)), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6 (n-3)) in both
cartilaginous fish species in all seasons.
The ratio of DHA/EPA
with respect to the total of fatty acids in livers oils was ranged from 2.66%
to 4.44% for
Mustelus mustelus and
2.89% to 4.46% for
Raja clavata. The
n:3/n:6 ratio of thornback ray was higher compared to smooth-hound shark in all
seasons. The liver oil of
R. clavata
and
M. mustelus represent a valuable
source of omega-3 PUFA that can be used for human and animal nutrition.
