ABSTRACT
Total lipid composition of liver of two fish Parastomateus nuger (Kala Paplet) and Trichiurus lepturus (Talwar) were determined. The fatty acid components of total liver lipids were identified by Gas-Liquid-Chromatography (GLC) and a combination of TLC-GLC technique. It is found that fatty acid methyl esters mainly consist of muristic, palmitic, stearic acid as saturated and palmitoleic and oleic acid as major unsaturated fatty acid. In addition medicinally important poly unsaturated fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids were also identified.
