title: [Fatty acids content of common marine fish from Yellow Sea of China].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To survey the fatty acids contents of common marine fish from Yellow Sea of China.
  
  
  METHODS
  The fatty acids were extracted from 38 species of common marine fish collected from Yellow Sea and then separated and detected by gas chromatography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average content of total lipids for 38 species of marine fish ranged from 0.459 (platycephalus indicus) to 17.086 g/100 g (Embiotoca jacksoni). The main SFA, MUFA, n-6PUFA and n-3PUFA were C16:0, C18: 1n9, C20:4n6 and C22: 6n3 respectively. The content of total SFA ranged from 44.5 mg/100 g (Alaska po-llack) to 2442.9 mg/100 g (Embiotoca jacksoni). The content of total MUFA was in the range of 19.8 (Alaska po-llack) to 2753.5 mg/100 g (Harengulazunasi Bleeker). The content of total n-6PUFA varied between 9.5 (Alaska po-llack) and 939.5 mg/100 g (Chelon haematocheilus). The content of total n-3PUFA ranged from 84.3 (platycephalus indicus) to 1452.2 mg/100 g (Embiotoca jacksoni). The content of n-3PUFAs, EPA and DHA were positively associated with the content of total lipids (P < 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There were significant differences between the 38 species of common marine fish from Yellow Sea of China. Most of common marine fish from Yellow Sea could be taken as good sources of n-3PUFA.
