Abstract

Dietary public health advice has been to consume fish. The fatty acids in fish, specifically the ratio of n‐3 to n‐6, are reported to be instrumental in determining the benefits. Looks at the available literature on differences in fatty acid composition between wild and farmed fish. Supports the hypothesis that farmed fish have a higher fat content and a different fat composition to wild fish. Suggests that more detailed studies, are required to compare the fat compositions of the various types of wild and farmed fish.
