Fig. 5: Distribution of EPA and DHA in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine lipid species.

Relative abundance (%) of lipid species containing EPA (20:5 n-3), DHA (22:6 n-3), both (EPA & DHA) or other fatty acids (FA) in the fatty acyl composition of phosphatidylcholine (PC) in samples of common octopus’ (Octopus vulgaris) arm muscle from a Ria Arousa (RAr), b Peniche (Pe), c Santa Luzia (SL) and in the composition of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in samples from d RAr, e Pe, f SL. Lipid species whose fatty acyl composition was not identified were included in other FA. Different letters under relative abundance indicate significant differences between sampling locations (Tukey’s HSD post hoc test, p < 0.05).
