Fatty acid composition of Anchoviella and Thrissocleus

A study was made to elucidate fatty acid composition of Anchoviella and Thrissocleus, and bring to light similarities with other clupeids. The results are tabulated. The polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, are the 2 major fatty acids in the phospholipid fraction of both fish. Myristic, palmitic and stearic acids are the major components of the nonphosphorylated fraction.
