[10] [11] These fatty acids may also help lower blood sugar levels a small amount. [12] They are also a good source of vitamin D, [13] calcium, and protein. Because they are low in the food chain, sardines are very low in contaminants, such as mercury, relative to other fish commonly eaten by humans. [14]

[1] [66] Although fish are a dietary source of omega−3 fatty acids, fish do not synthesize omega−3 fatty acids, but rather obtain them via their food supply, including algae or plankton. [ 67 ] In order for farmed marine fish to have amounts of EPA and DHA comparable to those of wild-caught fish, their feed must be supplemented with EPA and ...
However polyunsaturation of cell membranes may also occur in response to chronic cold temperatures as well. In fish increasingly cold environments lead to increasingly high cell membrane content of both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, to maintain greater membrane fluidity (and functionality) at the lower temperatures.

In preliminary research, omega-3 fatty acids in algal oil, fish oil, fish and seafood have been shown to lower the risk of heart attacks. [13] Other preliminary research indicates that omega-6 fatty acids in sunflower oil and safflower oil may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
This is especially true of oily fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel, which provide omega-3 fatty acids. These are “used by the body to build nerve and brain cells,” Kleiner explains.
[9] [10] Eating about 140 grams (4.9 oz) of oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids once per week is a recommended consumption amount. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Increasing intake of omega-3 fatty acids may slightly reduce the risk of a fatal heart attack, [ 10 ] but likely has little effect on the overall number of deaths from cardiovascular disease.
