“…The total saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids represent the majority component of the total fatty acids that constitute 69.67 % and 64,68 % for S. rivulatus and S. canaliculatus, respectively (Table 3). This result is in agreement with other studies on different fish species (Montano et aL, 2001;Gessner et aL, 2002;Ng et aL, 2003). This may be contributed to the similar metabolism processes in synthetics fatty acids (Steffens, 1989).…”

“…Similar result was pointed for S. canaliculatus (0.7) from the Arabian Gulf in the coast of Qatar (Al-Jedah et aL, 1999). According to Montano et aL, (2001) the linolenic acid consider the primary polyunsaturated fatty acid that many of long chain unsaturated fatty acids belongs to Omiga3 were derived from it. Generally, the linolenic acid concentration was low in Siganus muscles comparing with other fish species such as the gilthead seabream Sparus aurata in wild and aquaculture (Grigorakis et aL, 2002), the African Catfish Clarias gariepinus (Ng et aL, 2003) and sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax (Alasalvar et aL, 2002).…”

T he present work was carried out to compare some biological aspects, chemical composition, fatty acids, minerals and heavy metals of the commercial Rabbit fishes Siganus canaliculatus inhabit the Arabian Gulf and Siganus rivulatus inhabit the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. Fish samples were selected to represent all fish size categories in the catch and were collected during the period from November 2002 to March 2003. Each fish specimen was measured, weighted and recorded, then dissected to investigate the fullness of alimentary canal and the maturity stage of the gonads. The lengthweight relationships were computed by simple regression analysis and graphically represented. Both of absolute and relative condition factors (Kc and Kn) were estimated and graphically represented. The muscles (flesh) were removed and weighted to estimate the flesh percentage. Samples of flesh were taken to determine moisture, protein, ether extract, ash, fatty acids, minerals and heavy metals. Some samples of the entire fish were used to proximate analysis. The present results indicated that the Kc, Kn, maximum total length and flesh percentage of Rabbit fish Siganus canaliculatus were'higher than that of Siganus rivulatus. In general, polyunsaturated fatty acids were relatively low and heavy metal concentrations in the flesh of the two Siganus species-were lower than the permit limits for Human consumption, 2 Adel A.

“…Some of the benefits of these compounds include improved neural development in infants (Montano et al 2001), adult nutrition (Simopolous 1991), eicosanoid production (ARA and EPA), vision (DHA), and brain development (DHA) (Forman et al 1997;Valenzuela 2009). However, marine sources of PUFAs have been depleted by overfishing of wild fish stocks, which has caused concern regarding the sustainability of fishes and fish oils (Domergue et al 2005).…”

Functional characterization of a delta 6-desaturase gene from the black seabream (Acanthopagrus schlegeli)

Delta 6-fatty acid desaturase (D6DES) is used in the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from microorganisms to higher animals, including arachidonic acid (ARA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). A 1,338 bp full-length cDNA encoding D6DES was cloned from Acanthopagrus schlegeli (AsD6DES) through degenerate- and RACE-PCR methods. A recombinant vector expressing AsD6DES (pYES-AsD6DES) was subsequently constructed and transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae to test the enzymatic activity of AsD6DES towards the production of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids. The exogenously expressed AsD6DES produced γ-linolenic acid (18:3 n-6) and stearidonic acid (18:4n-3) at 26 and 36% from exogenous linoleic acid (18:2n-6) and α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3), respectively, indicating that it is essentially a delta 6-fatty acid desaturase.

“…Compared to beef and chicken, fish meat contains higher levels of n-3 PUFAs (Calder 2004), which are known to be cardio-protective (Sanderson et al 2002), anti-atherosclerotic (Givens et al 2006), antithrombotic (Calder 2004Harris 2004;Givens et al 2006), and anti-arrythmitic (Givens et al 2006). Studies with non-human primates and human newborns indicate that Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is essential for the normal functional development of the retina and brain, particularly in premature infants (Montano et al 2001). Arachidonic acid (AA), a PUFA of the n-6 series, is a precursor of biologically important products, such as epoxides, AA-ethanolamide, anandamide, and iso-prostanes, an isomer of prostaglandins (Galli and Marangoni 1997).…”

The proximate composition of the whole body and the fatty acid composition of the liver, muscle, eye and brain of wild and cultured rohu (Labeo rohita) were analyzed. The cultured species was found to have significantly (P < 0.05) higher lipid contents than its wild counterpart. The saturated (SFA) and monounsaturated (MUFA) fatty acid contents were significantly higher in the cultured species, whereas the n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels were higher in the wild species. Fatty acids C16:0 and C18:1 n-9 were the principal fatty acids of the SFAs and MUFAs, respectively, identified in the analyses. Docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and arachidonic acid were the predominant PUFAs in both groups, and all three were found to be present at significantly (P < 0.05) higher levels in the wild species. Erucic acid (C22:1 n-9), which was the predominant fatty acid (30.76%) in the feed, was detected only at low levels in muscle (0.30%), liver (1.04%) and eye (1.28%) of cultured fish tissue.
