Despite health benefits derived from fish oil, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) contained in fish oil are susceptible to lipid oxidation. To determine the optimum condition for maintaining good quality cooked fish during storage, mackerels were broiled with salt or soysauce condiments, and the lipid oxidation during 12 days of storage at refrigerated condition was measured. Peroxide value of broiled mackerel group with salt significantly increased after immediate cooking and maintained higher value throughout the storage period compare to the soysauce-added group, but showed similar value to the control group. Conjugated diene content in the soysauce-group was lower than the control and salt-added groups. Malondialdehyde content of broiled mackerel increased twofold and showed similar values in soysauce-added and the control groups during storage, whereas increased in the salt-added group significantly. Fatty acid compositions of the three mackerel groups changed after cooking, whereas that of the control group was almost stable during storage. In comparison with raw mackerel, the ratio of PUFA and saturated fatty acids decreased significantly, and the content of n-3 family fatty acid decreased from 25.53 to 20.63% in salted broiled mackerel. Soysauce group showed no reduction of PUFA with increasing storage time and showed the highest ratio of n-3/n-6 among the three groups at 10 days storage. Results reveal soysauce condiment protects against lipid peroxidation of broiled mackerel. Maillard reaction products (MRPs) found in soysauce might be responsible for the inhibitory effect and is a good condiment for extending storage life of cooked fish containing high amount of PUFA.

This study was designed to investigate the possibility of the use of dried mackerel, which is enriched with docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3, DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (20:5n-3, EPA) acids, as a means of increasing the intake of these n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and to investigate the effect of the consumption of mackerel on tissue triglyceride, cholesterol contents and fatty acid compositions. Twenty male mice were fed on 5% palm oil (control group) and 5% dried mackerel (mackerel group) diets for four weeks. Total triglyceride, cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels tended to decrease in serum, heart and kidney of the mackerel group compared to the control group, while HDL-cholesterol levels were increased with the intake of mackerel. In fatty acid compositions of serum and heart, the mackerel group showed increased percentages of n-3 fatty acids, especially DHA and EPA, and decreased percentages of arachidonic (20:4n-6, AA) and docosapentaenoic (22:5n-6, DPAn-6) acids compared to the control group (p<0.05). There was a similar tendency in kidney and adipose tissue but AA levels were not significantly different between the control and mackerel groups. These results indicate that intake of dried mackerel as the n-3 vehicle for increasing tissue n-3 fatty acids may be associated with improvement in lipid metabolism.

As a part of basic investigation for utilizing by-products derived from marine food processing more effectively as a food source, lipid contents, fatty acid compositions and lipid compositions in viscera and head of conger eel and hair tail, viscera of mackerel pike, and squids caught off Newzealand and off Falkland island were determined. The lipid contents in marine by-products showed $40.5{\sim}48.0%$ on a dry weight basis and it consisted of $92.1{\sim}99.0%$ neutral lipid and $1.0{\sim}7.9%$ polar lipid such as phospholipid and glycolipid. The neutral lipids mainly consisted of triglyceride$(50.0{\sim}69.9%)$ and had free fatty acid, free sterol, esterified sterol and hydrocarbon, diglyceride, and monoglyceride in less quantity. Squid viscera oil showed higher content in polyenes such as 20:5 and 22:6 than by-product oil derived from fish processing. Viscera oil of squid caught off Newzealand(21.1%) was the highest on DHA composition, followed by that of squid caught off Falkland island(16.3%), hair tail by-product oil(13.9%), conger eel by-product oil(11.7%) and mackerel pike by-product oil(10.7%), in the order named. The major fatty acids in total lipid and neutral lipid of byproducts were generally 16:0, 18: 1n-9, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3.

This paper aims to study the browning reactions of lipid originated carbonyl compounds with nitrogenous compounds in dried fishes, flounder, mackerel, shrimp, hair tail fish, and whale. The major fatty acids in the flounder, the mackerel, the shrimp, and the hair tail fish were $C_{16:0},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{22:5},\;C_{22:6}$, and those in the whale meat were $C_{16:0},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{20:4}$. The nonpolar lipid contained higher percent of $C_{18:1}$ while the polar lipid contained higher percent of $C_{22:6}$. When those fishes were dried and stored, the PoV and CoV were high in the mackerel and the hair tail fish, whereas low in the flounder, the shrimp, and, the whale. The browning was developed more rapidly in the lipid soluble fraction than in the water soluble fraction of each sample, and the loss of available lysine and polyenoic acids were accompanied. The polyunsaturated fatty acids markedly decreased, particularly, in phospholipid than in neutral lipid, and $C_{20:5},\;C_{22:5},\;C_{22:6}$ were rapidly decreased during the storage.

In order to establish tissue lipid status in animal on feeding of various dietary fat and oils, each group of rats was fed a semisynthetic diet containing 10%(w/w) mackerel oil (MO), eel oil (EO), soybean oil (SO), rapeseed oil (RO) or beef tallow (BT) for 1, 2 and 4 weeks, After each feeding period, levels of cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid were measured in serum. Fatty acid ${\leftarrow}$ composition was also investigated in serum and tissue lipids. Levels of total serum cholesterol were lower but HDL-cholesterol were higher in fish oil groups, which resulted in significantly higher ratio of HDL to total cholesterol in the fish oil groups. Fish oil groups, in general, also had lower levels of serum triglyceride and phospholipid than other groups, but S0 group maintained as low phospholipid levrl as fish oil groups. Fatty acid composition of dietary fat was reflected in all the tissues investigated but with varying degrees. Very long chain fatty acids, specific components exclusively found in fish oils were most well reflected in liver and relatively well in serum, whereas linoleic acid and erucic acid of SO and RO in the diet were better shown up in heart and adipose tissue. It attracted a particular attention that major proportions of long chain monoenoic acids $(C_{22:1})$ occurring both in MO and RO were detected separately in liver and heart plus adipose tissue, the result of which strongly indicates that there is a significant difference in metabolism between isomers $(C_{22:1}\;w\;11\;and\;C_{22:1}\;w\;9,\;respectively)$. It is suggested from this study that differences in lipid status as well as in the levels of serum lipids result from uniqueness in metabolism of each different fatty acid and give rise to distinguishable change in serum lipoprotein pattern, followed by diet with different fat sources.

The effect of dietary fish oil ( mackerel oil : MO, eel oil : EO) on energy utilization in rats was studied with measurements of various tissue lipoprotein lipase( LPL ) and live and heart mitochondrial respiration. Fatty acid composition of mitrochondrial inner membrane matrix was also investigated. Dietary fat level was 10%( w/w) and reference groups were fed soybean oil (SO), repeseed oil ( RO) and beef tallow( BT ). Activity of LPL was about 60% higher in post-heparin plasma and 2 to 3 times higher in adipose tissue of BT group than fish oil or vegetable oil group. But there was no significant difference between fish oil and vegetable oil groups. Inclusion of EO above 2% (w/w) in dietary fat with fille oil of BT, markedly reduced both post -heparin plasma and adipose tissue LPL. Effects of MO and EO were not different in adipose tissue LPL, but EO was more effective than MO, in reducing post -heparin plasma LPL when mixed fat with varying amount of fish oil was used. Hepatic mitochondria isolated from fish oil-fed group showed the lowest rate of respiration but had P/O ratio comparable to SO and BT groups. On the other hand, cardiac mitochondria of fish oil group showed no difference in all the mitochondrial respiration parameters observed RO group had lowest P/O ratio both in hepatic and cardiac mitochondria. Fatty acid compositions of mitochondrial lipid differ between SO, RO, BT and MO groups, notably in the content of $C_{22:1}$ fatty acid.

Development of egg, larvae and juveniles for the Pacific mackerel, Scomber japonicus are described following natural fertilization in the indoor tank of $25^{\circ}C$ water temperature. Following a routine hormone treatment technique for the brood stock, male and female mackerels were artificially matured by intramuscular injections of LHRHa at a dosage of $400{\mu}g/kg$ body weight (BW)+Domperidone at a dosage of $4{\mu}g/kg$ body weight (BW) to induce maturation in a separate aquarium and induced natural spawning. Fertilized eggs were ca. 1.0 mm in diameter; spherical in shape with a single oil globule; pelagic and non-adhesive. Hatching occurs 41 hours after fertilization at $23-24^{\circ}C$. The newly hatched larvae was 3.03 mm in average total length (ATL), the mouth and anus were not open, oil globule located in posterior end of yolk sac, and preanal length was 42.8% of TL. The larvae measuring 2.89 mm ATL, almost absorbed yolk sac and oil globule material in 2 days after hatching, in which the mouth and anus were open. Melanophores, branch or star in shape were observed on the top of head, peritoneal region and along the ventral contour. In 13 days after hatching, the larvae was 6.88 mm ATL, its posterior end of notochord began to flex upward, finfold of caudal fin appeared, jaw teeth were already formed. In 19 days after hatching, the larvae was 7.71 mm ATL completed only caudal fin rays (9+8), and preanal length was 49.4% of TL. In 37 days after hatching, the larvae was 27.4 mm ATL already completed all the fins, and preanal length was 59.9% of TL.

This study aimed to investigate an effective method of purifying oil from hydrolysates of mackerel by-products. A hydrolyzed sample was separated into lipids and other material. After degumming of crude lipids with 6% citric acid solution, the phosphorous content (45 mg/kg) decreased to 5.8 mg/kg, and the acid value (18.03 mg /g) decreased to 1.19 mg KOH/g. Following the addition of 8% sodium hydroxide solution, the peroxide value (30.25 meq/kg) dropped to 3.18 meq/kg, and the chromaticity decreased from 0.488 nm to 0.057 nm. Bleaching was performed by adding 5% activated charcoal for 60℃ for 20 min under vacuum conditions. After bleaching, the acid value was 0.17 mg KOH/g, and the peroxide value was 1.21 meq/kg, but the chromaticity was not changed remarkably (0.062 nm). Crystallization was conducted to increase the amount of unsaturated fatty acids. After crystallization, the total amount of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) was 228.83 mg/g. The results suggest that the product can be used as an omega-3 fatty acid resource for functional food.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the browning reactions of fish oil-amino acid model system and the properties of browning products. The lysine was added to the hair tail fish and mackerel oil, and incubated at $40^{\circ}C$ for 178 hours. Browning was rapidly developed with the begining of decline in PoV and CoV and a remarkable decrease in such polyunsaturated fatty acids as $C_{20:5},\;C_{22:5},\;C_{22:6}$ compared with the other fatty acids, was resulted. And among the polyenoic acids the role of $C_{22:6}$ was considered to come first as appeared in the test with authentic samples. In the water soluble fraction of the browning products obtained from the fish meat or the lysine added fish oil, some antioxidation activity was detected. But in the liposoluble fraction which covers most of the browning reactions in the fish meat, little antioxidation activity was detected. And all of the browning products provided in this experiment shelved very low reducing activity.
