Abstract

Eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids (EPA & DHA) are fatty acids (FAs) vital for the human body. To determine FA composition and EPA & DHA content in the fillet of farmed and wild commercial fish is of paramount importance for fish industry. The wild carp (Cyprinus carpio) is an important commercial fish species, and its domesticated form, the common carp, is a popular product of aquaculture. The study was aimed to compare the biochemical value of the muscle tissue of wild carp from some water bodies in Siberia and farmed carp as a source of EPA and DHA in human nutrition. For this purpose, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analyses were used. The FA profile of carp depended on its food sources. Carp from natural ecosystems was of higher biochemical value. Its muscle tissue contained 1.1 to 1.7 mg/g (wet weight) EPA+DHA, and the n‑3/n‑6 PUFA ratio was 1.2 to 2. The EPA+DHA content in the muscles of aquaculture carp did not exceed 0.7 mg/g (wet weight), and the n‑3/n‑6 PUFA ratio was about 0.2
