A natural oil extracted from fish characterized by a large group of saturated fatty acids. The fatty acids derived from fish oils are three principal types: saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. The fish oil commonly used in the coatings industry is menhaden oil, produced from menhaden fish caught along the Atlantic coast of the United States.
Paint drying agent made from oil from certain fish.
Fish oil is oil derived from the tissues of oily fish. Fish oil is recommended for a healthy diet because it contains the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), precursors to eicosanoids that reduce inflammation throughout the body. However, fish do not actually produce omega-3 fatty acids, but instead accumulate them from consuming microalgae that produce these fatty acids, as well as from eating other fish that have accumulated them.
