Fish sterol content is relatively stable and ranges between 40 and 60 mg per 100 g edible fish muscle (Ackman, 1994 Krzynowek et al., 1990) 250 to 650 mg per 100 g roe (Sikorski et al., 1990) and 480 to 1150 mg per 100 g oil in livers of cod, herring, menhaden, and salmon (Kinsella, 1987 Kennish et al., 1992). In finfish, 95% of the total sterol is cholesterol. Shellfish usually contain two to three times more total sterol than finfish (Table 12.3). In a study of Australian seafood, the highest sterol contents (120 to 160 mg/100 g) were recorded in shellfish such as prawns, squid, octopus, and scallops (Nichols et al., 1998). In mollusks, such as the oyster Crassostrea gigas and abalone Haliotis spp., cholesterol is usually the main sterol, but a complex suite of other sterols are present (e.g., Dunstan et al., 1993 Dunstan et al., 1996).
