Rainbow Trout Composition and Fatty Acid Content in Estonia

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is the most popular aquaculture species in Estonia. The aim of the present study was to examine and compare moisture, protein, lipid and fatty acid (FA) compositions in Rainbow trout from different fish farms in Estonia and that farmed in Finland and Norway. The total lipid content in different Rainbow trout varied more than 5.5 fold, but FA proportions were very similar in all Rainbowtrout. However, it is important to note that Estonian farmed Rainbow trout had generally lower lipid content and therefore also a lower amount of essential FAs.
