The aim of this research was to value the benefits of a Mediterranean diet based on "poor fish". It is called "poor fish" because it does not have a great economic value. For this reason fish belonging to Boga, Suro and Razza were caught from March to July in the Strait of Messina between Capo Peloro and Capo San Rainen. 20 specimens were analyzed and their yield and their fatty acid profiles studied. From the data on fatty-acid composition, the quality indexes were calculated: the ratio (ω6/ω3, the Fish Lipid Quality (FLQ), the Index of atherogenicity (IA) and the Index of thrombogenicity (IT). The results indicate that these species have as good health and nutritional properties as valuable species.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to value the benefits of a Mediterranean diet based on "poor fish". It is called "poor fish" because it does not have a great economic value. For this reason fish belonging to Boga, Suro and Razza were caught from March to July in the Strait of Messina between Capo Peloro and Capo San Rainen. 20 specimens were analyzed and their yield and their fatty acid profiles studied. From the data on fatty-acid composition, the quality indexes were calculated: the ratio (ω6/ω3, the Fish Lipid Quality (FLQ), the Index of atherogenicity (IA) and the Index of thrombogenicity (IT). The results indicate that these species have as good health and nutritional properties as valuable species.Pubblicazioni consigliate
