dc.description.abstract	In the present study the fat content and fatty acid compositions in three size classes «15cm, 15-20cm, >20cm) of male and female Amblygaster sirm (Spotted sardinella, Hurulla) were evaluated. The fat content increased gradually with increasing size of the fish. While both males and females showed the above increase with size, the fat content of the female (4.15%) was consistently higher than that of the male (3.6%) Like most other fish unsaturated fatty acids were dominated by two members of then-3 family, EPA and DHA.	en_US
