Scope

Omega-3 content in salmon describes the average content.

Definition

Data

Omega-3 fatty acid content in salmon. Estimate is from Din 2004 Table 2. In a previous version, there were other fish types as well: min is the lowest value, max is the highest value and mode is the average of the two. [1]
