Full description

The content and composition of the oil from nearly 200 species of Australian fish, shellfish and crustaceans were examined. The nutritional value of Australian species was determined with respect to oil composition, as was how oil content may differ with geographical region, taxonomic group and other factors. This knowledge has been transferred, in various formats, to the Fishing Industry, nutritionists and other consumer groups to better utilize the total catch, including waste products.

Statement: The majority of muscle (flesh) samples analysed were subsamples from collections made for the "Handbook of Australian Seafood - A Guide to Whole Fish and Fillets". The initial plan was to analyse all seafood species included in the "Handbook" study. The final selection of species analysed was made following advice from FRDC, industry advisory bodies and State, Territory and Commonwealth fisheries departments. Specimens were obtained from a variety of sources including commercial fishers, aquaculture farms, seafood markets and research cruises. The sampling and preservation logistics for the Handbook study provided a unique opportunity to obtain high integrity specimens with confident identification of the samples that was vitally important to the success of this study.
