Abstract
The seasonal variation of fatty acid composition in lipids of various organs and stomach contents of bonito (Euthynnus pelamis) was investig ated, Although docosahexaenoic acid in the lipids of the stomach conte nts originating from their prey organisms varied from about 13% to 31% , it was the dominant unsaturated fatty acid and accounted for more th an 25% of the total fatty acids in the lipids of every organ of bonito in and out of season, and its seasonal variation was comparatively sm all.
