Mammals are unable to synthesize omega−3 fatty acids, but can obtain the shorter-chain omega−3 fatty acid ALA (18 carbons and 3 double bonds) through diet and use it to form the more important long-chain omega−3 fatty acids, EPA (20 carbons and 5 double bonds) and then from EPA, the most crucial, DHA (22 carbons and 6 double bonds).

In 1940, Alaska pollock was the most commonly caught fish in Korea, with more than 270,000 tonnes brought in from the Sea of Japan. [3] However, the consumption of Alaska pollock in South Korea dropped to an estimated 260,000 tonnes per year by 2016, [ 4 ] Much of is imported from Russia due to changes in sea water temperatures.
Alaska pollock catches from U.S. fisheries have been relatively consistent at approximately 1.3 million tons a year, on average 92 percent from the Bering Sea and 8 percent from the Gulf of Alaska. [ 35 ] [ 36 ] Each year's quota is adjusted based on stock assessments conducted by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center to prevent overfishing. [ 37 ]

An omega−3 fatty acid is a fatty acid with multiple double bonds, where the first double bond is between the third and fourth carbon atoms from the end of the carbon atom chain. "Short-chain" omega−3 fatty acids have a chain of 18 carbon atoms or less, while "long-chain" omega−3 fatty acids have a chain of 20 or more.
Omega-3s — found in high quantities in fatty fish such as salmon as well as flaxseeds and chia seeds, pecans, walnuts and pine nuts — maintain your body’s cells, provide energy, maintain ...
Canned cod liver. Cod is popular as a food with a mild flavour and a dense, flaky white flesh.Young Atlantic cod or haddock prepared in strips for cooking is called scrod.Cod's soft liver can be canned or fermented into cod liver oil, providing an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA).
New research links omega-6 fatty acids, commonly found in seed oils, and colon cancer growth. But there’s more to the story—and study if you read it carefully.
