From: Fatty acid composition of sprat (Sprattus sprattus) and herring (Clupea harengus) in the Baltic Sea as potential prey for salmon (Salmo salar)

Fig. 7

Concentrations (mg g−1) of palmitic acid (16:0), oleic acid (18:1n-9) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) as a function of the age of sprat and herring with sampling areas and seasons combined. The coefficient of determination (R 2) and significance of the fitted models are given. Each symbol refers to a pool (whole body homogenate), which for sprat consisted of 12–92 specimens and for herring 7–133 specimens
