Composition and content of fatty acid, lipid classes of two octopus species: Amphioctopus neglectus and Cistopus indicus from Ha Long bay, Quang Ninh province, Vietnam

The content of unsaturated fatty acids did differ between males and females of the two species studied. However, these differences are few and can be explained by the timing of their breeding seasons. The fatty acid composition of the fats from both investigated octopus species permits their use as food with nutritional value, and the production of bioactive additives.
