2. Docosapentaenoic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docosapentaenoic_acid

   Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) is an n-3 fatty acid that is structurally similar to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) with the same number of double bonds, but two more carbon chain units. [4] Dietary sources. These are the top five sources for DPA according to the USDA Agricultural Research Service: [5] Fish oil, menhaden 0.668 g in 1 tbsp. (13.6 g)

3. Omega Protein - Wikipedia

   Omega Protein's fishing fleet takes about 90% of the menhaden harvested in US waters; the extent of its harvest has been a subject of controversy. [3] In December 2012, in the face of the depletion of Atlantic menhaden, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission imposed a limit on Omega's operations, "capping the total annual commercial catch at 170,800 metric tons, about 80 percent of ...

   [2] 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). [2]

5. Menhaden - Wikipedia

   This was because of menhaden oil's high omega-3 fatty acid content, which took the place of omega-6 fatty acid, which is not as beneficial to animals. Another animal that benefits from omega-3 in menhaden oil is guinea pigs. When given menhaden oil in feed guinea pigs were shown to have a longer life span. [21]

6. Omega-7 fatty acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-7_fatty_acid

   16- and 18-carbon omega−7 unsaturated fatty acids are known to be converted into 18- or 20-carbon highly unsaturated fatty acids in the body by nonselective desaturating enzymes. [4] The same enzymes also act on omega−3, omega−6, and omega−9 fatty acids. As a result, while proportions of individual highly unsaturated fatty acids may ...

7. Atlantic menhaden - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_menhaden

   Atlantic menhaden usually do not become sexually mature until the end of their second year, after which they reproduce until death. A young, sexually mature female can produce roughly 38,000 eggs, while a fully mature female can produce upwards of 362,000. [6] Eggs are buoyant and hatch within 2 to 3 days depending on the temperature.
