Different forms of copper Cu, zinc Zn, lead Pb and cadmium Cd in water from the Uganda side of Lake Victoria (25°C, pH 6.75–7.18), the second largest inland freshwater lake in the world, have been studied using ion‐exchange, ...
Fatty acid composition of muscle, liver, and adipose tissue of freshwater fish from Lake Victoria, Uganda
(Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology., 2011)
Fish oils may differ in fatty acid (FA) composition depending on diet. Oils extracted from muscle, liver, and adipose tissue of Nile perch (Lates niloticus), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), silver fish (Rastrineobola ...
Fatty acid profile and stability of oil from the belly flaps of Nile perch (Lates niloticus)
(Elsevier: Food Chemistry., 2008-05-01)
Oil extracted from the belly flaps of Lake Victoria Nile perch (Lates niloticus) was evaluated for fatty acid composition, contents of vitamin A, β-carotene and α-tocopherol, and oxidative stability. The oil was found to ...
