Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the fatty acid composition of some potential fish oil originated from some production centers in Indonesia.Samples observed were softshell turtle oil, freshwater eel oil, shark liver oil, tuna oil, and lemuru oil.Fatty acid composition of the oil was analyzed and quantified using gas chromatography after being converted into FAME.Detected SFA, MUFA, and PUFA as ranged from 1.67-37.99%,3.17-38.34%,and 0.70-34.99%.Oleic acid became predominant fatty acid in sofshell turtle oil, freshwater eel oil, and shark liver oil.Tuna oil was rich in DHA (24.56%), while lemuru oil was rich in EPA (14.36%). Key words:Fatty acid composition, Freshwater eel, Lemuru, Softshell turtle, Shark liver, tuna.fatty acids implicated with the increasing demand of fish oil for food industry and pharmaceutical use 11 .According to the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Affairs of Republic of Indonesia 17 , Indonesia's capture fisheries production in 2012 reached 5.8 million tons, while total production from aquaculture reached 9.6 million tons.Indonesia's fishery production is dominated by small pelagic and pelagic fish.The Indonesian aquaculture production is dominated by seaweed, tilapia, milkfish, and shrimp.Huge potential of Indonesian fisheries can give contribution for economic growth in Indonesia if it is optimally utilized.Moreover, Indonesia has a wide waters area where aquatic organisms grow and reproduce.Based on potency posessed, fish
