Biological value of the fat of Yakut carp (carassius carassius jakuticus Kirillov)

Abstract

The results of the study of the content of fatty acids in the meat of Yakut carp are given for the first time. It has been found that Yakut carps accumulate much more polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and arachidonic acids) by winter, which contributes to their safe overwintering in long extreme winter in Yakutia. The fat of female individuals contains a higher volume of saturated and monosaturated acids; among polyunsaturated acids, their fat manly contains linoleic and linolenic acids.
