Аннотация:In several Russian northern lakes and rivers,
Arctic cisco Coregonus autumnalis, least cisco C. sardinella,
peled C. peled, tugun C. tugun, broad whitefish C. nasus,
whitefish C. lavaretus and vendace C. albula were sampled
in periods of officially permitted commercial fishery. Special
attention was paid to contents (mg g−1 of wet weight)
of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) in muscle tissues (filets), which are essential for
human nutrition. The highest values of EPA + DHA content
in semi-anadromous fish and freshwater fish were recorded
for C. autumnalis from the Yenisei River, 17.60 mg g−1
wet weight, and for C. lavaretus from the Sobachye Lake,
16.61 mg g−1 wet weight, respectively. Intra-genus variations
of EPA + DHA contents of Coregonus species were
from 1.87 to 17.60 mg g−1 wet weight. Since the congeneric
species were genetically close to each other, the variations in
EPA and DHA contents were thought to be caused primarily
by ecological factors: migrational capability, type of feeding
and trophic status of aquatic ecosystems. In general, the
majority of studied species appeared to be of a high nutritive value for humans, although unfavorable environmental conditions
could considerably diminish this value.
