Description The fatty acid profile of the Indian mackerel Rastrelliger kanagurta from the Arabian Sea was studied
in relation to its maturation and spawning cycle. Among fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)
component was the highest (46.9%) followed by saturated fatty acids (SFA) and monounsaturated fatty
