salmon oil vs. cod liver oil

[Andy741]

I have read that salmon oil has greater amounts of omega-3's; you can get 3 grams of omega-3's in a few teaspoons of it.

Is that true?

1 teaspoon of Salmon Oil has about 4.5 Grams of Fat

of which
20:5 is about .586 g
22:5 is about .135 g
22:6 is about .820 g

or 1.54 grams of Omega 3 about 33% of the total fat

1 teaspoon of Cod liver Oil has about the same Total Fat

but
20:5 is only .31
22:5 is only .042
22:6 is only .494

or .846 grams of Omega 3 about 18% of the total fat

But Cod Liver has the addition of Vitamins A and D that Salmon Oil doesn't.

 

[Andy741]

so salmon oil has roughly twice as much omega-3's and the same amount of fat.
