OEL Fastrac Catalog

Many species are used in the production of fish oils. However, the majority are derived from fatty fish and the liver of lean fish. The commonly used raw materials include, but are not limited to, menhaden, sardines, anchovies, herring, capelin, mackerel, salmon, tuna and cod liver. In addition to bony fish, some fish oil and fish liver oil can be obtained from cartilaginous fish, such as sharks. Shark and cod are the two main fish whose livers are extracted for oil. While sharks are specifically targeted for their livers, cod livers are taken as a by-product along with the roe. Fish oil intended for human consumption must comply with the requirements for fishery products. The difference between fish oil and other oils is mainly the unique variety of fatty acids. Marine oils are excellent sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), mainly longchain omega-3 fatty acids, also sometimes referred to as n-3 fatty acids. The amount and variety of the fatty acids in fish oil varies from one fish species to another with the biological stage, food availability, fishing location, ocean temperature, nutritional and spawning state. The major omega-3 fatty acids present in fish oils are eicosapentaenoic acid (C20/5 omega-3, commonly called EPA) and the docosahexaenoic acid (C22/6 omega-3, commonly entitled DHA).
