The lipid composition of different muscular areas (dorsal, ventral, subcutaneous, periosteum) and organs (liver, gall bladder, testes) of a gempylid fish Ruvettus pretiosus was examined. Waxes were the main lipid fraction in muscular areas, while the liver and testes were quite enriched in triglycerides and phospholipids. Oleic acid and fatty acids of n‐3 family were the most frequently found in total lipids.
