| Abstract: | The proximate composition, fatty acid profiles, and the sensory characteristics of pond-raised red drum were compared to wild red drum. The proximate compositions and sensory characteristics were similar for pond-raised and wild red drum. The major difference between samples was in the fatty acid profiles. The pond-raised red drum had higher linoleic acid and lower docosahexaenoic acid concentrations than the wild fish samples. The eicosapentaenoic acid concentrations were similar in both pond-raised and wild red drum. |
