Metabolic and hematological studies on the yellow and silver phases of the European eel, Anguilla anguilla L.—II. Fatty acid composition

• 1.1. Fatty acid composition in liver, muscle and gonads of yellow and silver phases of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) was determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). 2.2. Significantly higher amounts of were found in the gonads of silver eels compared to yellow eels. 3.3. In the gonads of silver eels the amounts of the unsaturated acids, palmitoleic (16:1), oleic (18:1) and linoleic (18:2), were significantly higher while the amount of palmitic acid (16:0) was significantly lower. 4.4. In the liver the amount of stearic (18:0) and arachidonic acid (20:4) was significantly lower, while the amount of linoleic acid (18:2) was significantly higher in the silver phase.
