Abstract: The omega-3 fatty acid content (namely EPA and DHA) of Tilapia guineensis, Sarotherodon melanotheron and Mullet from NIOMR fish farm in Buguma, Rivers State, Nigeria was investigated using GC-MS. The results showed that the composition of EPA was always higher than DHA for the three fish species. The results also showed large quantities of omega-3 fatty acid in the three fish species. Thus, suggesting that the three fish species could be used as good sources of these omega-3 fatty acid.
Keywords: Omega-3 Fatty Acid, EPA, DHA, GC-MS, Tilapia Gineensis, Sarotherodon Melanotheron, Mullet.
