<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>This study focused on comparing slaughter yield, proximate composition, and fatty acid profiles of meat from wild vendace, <italic>Coregonus albula</italic> L. caught in natural conditions (lakes; group W) and from cultured vendace reared on formulated feed in recirculating systems (group C).

The relative combined share of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in carcasses of fish from group C were significantly higher (49.98 vs 31.53% of total fatty acids (tFA)); however, the share of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), including n-3 PUFA, was lower at 18.55 vs 24.71% tFA and 8.36 vs 14.89% tFA (P ≤ 0.05), respectively.
