    Abstract: The present invention provides natural fish oils comprising altered fatty acid profiles, which are useful e.g. as a nutritional supplement.

The method comprises the steps of (a) feeding fish a composition comprising at least one fatty acid, so as to obtain altered levels of an endogenous and/or non-endogenous fatty acid in said fish, and (b) extracting oil comprising altered levels of the at least one fatty acid from said fish. The invention further relates to a method of purifying a composition comprising at least one fatty acid by feeding a first composition to a fish and extracting a second composition comprising the at least one fatty acid from said fish.
