Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic purified diets were formulated to feed Songpu mirror carp for 60 days. The control diet ( CD ) was only supplemented with soybean oil. The other five experimental diets contained soybean oil, linseed oil and lard oil blended at various inclusion levels to attain different linoleic acid ( LA )/α‐linolenic acid ( LNA ) ratios (0.53, 1.04, 2.09, 3.95, 6.82) with a constant total C 18 polyunsaturated fatty acids ( PUFA ; LA + LNA , 2% dry weight) content. The fatty acid ( FA ) profiles of hepatopancreas, dorsal muscle, intestine, intraperitoneal fat ( IPF ), spleen and kidney reflected those of the diets, but with some differences. The spleen showed the lowest correlation with diet compared with other tissues, followed by the hepatopancreas ( P < 0.05). The intestine and IPF showed relatively higher correlation. On the other hand, the control group had the lowest tissue‐diet correlation, followed by the LA / LNA 0.53 group ( P < 0.05), whereas the LA / LNA 2.09 showed the highest. The LA / LNA ratios in the tissues were up‐regulated in the LA / LNA 0.53, 1.04 groups and down‐regulated in the LA / LNA 3.95, 6.82 groups. This was due to when LA (or LNA ) was highly added in diet, the decrease in this FA was huge in tissue. The contents of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids increased in the control group, but seemed not influenced by dietary LA / LNA ratios. These results demonstrated that the FA deposition was tissue‐specific, and also influenced by the dietary FA composition in the experimental fish. Finally, we suggest that 2.09 is the optimal LA / LNA ratio (2% C 18 PUFA ) of Songpu mirror carp for fillet FA composition.
