Big eye tuna (Thunnus obesus), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) are three representative marine and fresh water fishes. In this study, the content of total lipids (TL), triglyceride (TG) fraction, and the fatty acid profiles in the corresponding fish heads were analyzed. Meanwhile, their complicated TG molecular species were further characterized. The results showed that TG was the major lipid in these three fish heads (60.58–86.69%). Compared with other two fish heads, big eye tuna head was the most abundant in polyunsaturated fatty acids, among which eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) accounted for 64.29% and 32.77% in the TL and TG fraction, respectively. It is also worth noting that EPA+DHA/total fatty acid (TFA) value of TL and TG fraction from bighead carp head showed no significant difference with Atlantic salmon head, a typical marine fish. There were 146 TG molecules detected in big eye tuna head, 90 in Atlantic salmon and 87 in bighead carp heads. DHA or EPA accounted for 56.12%, 22.88%, and 5.46% of the total TG molecules in these three fish heads, respectively. According to principal component analysis, orthogonal projection to latent structures-discriminant analysis and the constructed heat map, the three samples could be completely differentiated based on their TG molecule fingerprints. This study is the first to compare marine and fresh water fish from the perspective of their heads’ fatty acid and TG molecule profiles.

Abstract. Anita S, Haryono, Wahyudewantoro G. 2019. Nutritional component of Barbonymus balleroides: A wild fresh water fish from Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 581-588. Barbonymus balleroides is a native species of fish from Indonesia that threatens by overfishing activity and habitat damage whereas little is known about its nutritional information. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional content of wild barb fish that was collected from two different sites in Indonesia. Fishes were collected from Serayu and Cipunagara River. The body part of fishes was grouped and weighted to identify the ratio. Proximate composition was determined for flesh and byproduct parts. Flesh parts of fish were then examined for mineral content, fatty acid, and amino acid profile. Barb fish samples mainly form Cipunagara River contain high protein compare to several Indonesian freshwater fishes that commonly consumed. Flesh samples from both fish group were the heaviest part followed by its edible byproduct that often wasted. The amount of moisture and protein were higher in the flesh parts while byproduct showed higher content of fat and ash. Both samples contained a dominant amount of macro elements K and P. Fatty acid profile of flesh samples showed essential fatty acid that is good for human health. Amino acid profile showed the most dominant amino acid found in both samples was glutamic acid.

The fatty acid contents of marine, brackish and fresh water fishes were identified and quantified by gas chromatography. It was found that marine fishes were better sources of n-3 fatty acids, whereas fresh and brackish water fishes were better sources of n-6 fatty acids. Marine fish had the highest amount of PUFA. Among PUFAs, docosadienoic acid (C22:2n6) and adrenic acid (C22:4n6) were identified in 20 fishes. EPA and DHA was significantly higher in marine fishes (p less gthan 0.01), particularly, Dussumieria acuta, the rainbow sardine (24.80 mg g-1). Gerres abbreviates, the silver belly (20.16 mg g-1) and Tricusurus savala, the wolf herring (23.34 mg g-1). The n-3: n-6 ratio was significantly higher in marine fishes (p less gthan 0.05) than in the brackish and fresh water fishes studied. Atherogenicity (AI) and thrombogenicity(TI) values were significantly higher in both fresh and brackish water fishes and significantly lower (p less gthan 0.01) in marine fishes.
