| Abstract | 97 samples of fish from 43 families and 17 samples of shellfish (7 of prawn from 1 family, 6 of crab from 2 families, 2 of cuttlefish, 2 of squid), Antarctic krill and mackerel egg were analysed for fat, nonsaponifiables and cholesterol contents. Results are tabulated in detail, according to month of catch, length/wt. of sample, Latin name of species and family to which it belongs. Mackerel egg samples contained relatively high levels of cholesterol; shellfish and certain fish families also contained relatively high levels of cholesterol (more than has been found in beef) and are contraindicated for those with heart problems. Generally, freshwater fish species appeared lower in cholesterol than marine species |
