Fatty acid profile and assessment of heavy metals content of Sardina pilchardus captured in the Algerian coast
<span style="font-family:times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">Total lipids, fatty acid composition and heavy metal content of <em>Sardina pilchardus</em> fillet samples captured in February 2014 in Beni saf, Mostaganem, Ghazaouet, Algiers and Jijet coast were evaluated. Total lipid content was related to the five sites of catch (<em>p</em><0.05), ranging from 7.18 g 100g<sup>-1</sup> for Algiers to 10.07g 100g<sup>-1</sup> for Beni saf. The fatty acid composition of <em>S. pilchardus</em> shows a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) dominated by n-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA C20:5 n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA C22:6n-3) with maximum rates of 15.75% and 33.42%, respectively (<em>p</em><0.05). The saturated fatty acid (SFA) content was important in different samples of sardines, ranging from 35.50% to 41.32% according to sites of capture (<em>p</em>< 0.05). Concerning the heavy metals, the levels of lead (Pb) ranged from 0.013mg to 0.024mg, however those of mercury (Hg) varied from 0.080 mg to 0.130 mg (<em>p</em><0.05), which affects the health value of the fish species</span></span>
