Lipid Profiles of Bhola Bhetki (Nibea soldado) Organs
TL;DR: The fish, namely Bhola bhetki (Nibea soldado) was examined for lipid composition of its specific organs and found that fish had a much higher lipid content in brain in comparison with its other organ while the muscle and digestive tract had nearly equal amount of total lipids.
Abstract: The fish, namely Bhola bhetki (Nibea soldado) was examined for lipid composition of its specific organs. The fish had a much higher lipid content in brain in comparison with its other organ while the muscle and digestive tract had nearly equal amount of total lipids. Cholesterol content in lipid part of various organs was significantly high in Bhola (Nibea sp.) while the phospholipid content was low. Fatty acid compositions of eye and digestive tract of Nibea soldado were richer in variety than those of muscle and brain. The total saturated and poly unsaturated acids were more or less equal in muscle and brain lipid. The total monounsaturated fatty acids are more or less same in the muscle, brain and eye. Eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5) is very high in all the organs. Arachidonic acid (C20:4) is also present in considerable amount in brain, eye and digestive tract. The variation of cholesterol, phospholipid and fatty acid composition in fish organs would be beneficial for human consumption from health point of view.

...The maximum cholesterol level is present in croaker muscle followed by viscera, bone and skin but in horse mackerel viscera had more cholesterol than remaining and these results were in line of pomfret and bhola bhetki[13,15], but compared to the results of Nazeer et al[16], the percentage of cholesterol was very less....

TL;DR: It is elucidates that a considerable amount of two physiologically important n-3 PUFAs, i.e. EPA and DHA were found more in skin and liver than in muscle and skin respectively.
Abstract: Present study of the lipid content in different organs of marine fish Threadfin bream ( Nemipterus japonicus ) indicates that a major amount of lipids are accumulated in liver (6.22%) when compared with remaining organs like muscle (2.7%) and skin (1.0%). Cholesterol studies reveal that muscle (36.2%) is having more quantities than liver (32.4%) and skin (24%). Fatty acid composition reveals that the lipids of each organ of threadfin bream are enriched in the unsaturated fatty acids and all the organs were found to be rich in linoleic (C 18: 2 ), oleic (C 18:1 ) and palmitic (C 16: 0 ). The present study further elucidates that a considerable amount of two physiologically important n-3 PUFAs, i.e. EPA and DHA were found more in skin (1.6% and 0.5%) and liver (1.6% and 0.6%) than in muscle (1.4% and 0.4%).

TL;DR: The omnivorous species of bony fish contained more arachidonic acid than the carnivorous bonyFish and the cartilaginous species were relatively low in eicosapentaenoic acid whereas the cephalopods contained high levels of this fatty acid.
Abstract: 1. 1. The total lipids were extracted from the flesh of 25 species of temperate Australian fish and cephalopods and the fatty acid composition was determined by capillary gas chromatography. 2. 2. All species were rich in palmitic acid (range 16–25% of total fatty acids) and docosahexaenoic acid (range 15–53%). There were variable amounts of arachidonic acid (range 1–15%) and eicosapentaenoic acid (range 3–23%). 3. 3. The omnivorous species of bony fish contained more arachidonic acid (mean 10%) than the carnivorous bony fish (mean 5%). The cartilaginous species were relatively low in eicosapentaenoic acid (mean 5%) whereas the cephalopods contained high levels of this fatty acid (mean 18%).
