This study focused on comparing slaughter yield, (tFA)); however, the share of polyunsaturated fatty acids proximate composition, and fatty acid profiles of meat from (PUFA), including n-3 PUFA, was lower at 18.55 vs 24.71% wild vendace, Coregonus albula L. caught in natural tFA and 8.36 vs 14.89% tFA (P £ 0.05), respectively. As conditions (lakes; group W) and from cultured vendace a result of these lipid content values, the levels of the reared on formulated feed in recirculating systems (group C). eicosapentaenoic (EPA; 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic The slaughter yield of gutted vendace (group C) was (DHA; 22:6n-3) acids and n-3 PUFA and PUFA, expressed in approximately 2% higher that the value determined in group mg 100 g-1 carcass, in cultured vendace carcasses were W(P£ 0.05).
