ResumoDistribution of all visceral (muscular, liver, heart, and gonads) lipids, phospholipids, and fatty acid compositions of phospholipid in migratory, coastal and reef dwelling white-flesh fish was analyzed. Seventeen midwater to surface dwelling fish, eight of which were migratory species and the remaining nine coastal and reef fishes, sixteen demersal fish and seven squids caught around Japan and northern Pacific were used for analysis. Total lipid content in the muscle of the fish examined were less than 10% except for blackthroat seaperch and channel rockfish. Liver lipid showed wide variations among fish species, and lipid contents were relatively higher in demersal fish than migratory fish. (n-3) Polyunsaturated fatty acids (C20:5 and C22:6) constituted the predominant component exceeding 50% of the total fatty acids in the phospholipids in all fish species examined. C22:6n-3 was the most abundant in muscle phospholipid of squids and salmonids.
