------- is one of the important mesopelagic fish species that have been tried for value addition but have failed due to their
unique lipid composition
EXPLANATION
Seaweed Processing & Hydrocolloids
- Mesopelagic Lanternfishes (Myctophidae):
- Mesopelagic fishes of the family Myctophidae (lanternfishes) represent an enormous global biomass ($100-500\text{ million tonnes}$ in the Arabian Sea).
- However, commercial attempts to utilize myctophids directly for human food have largely failed because their lipids are dominated by wax esters ($\gt 80\%$ of total lipids). Wax esters cannot be hydrolyzed by human intestinal lipases, causing severe gastrointestinal distress (keriorrhea / oily diarrhea).
- Correct Option: Option 1 (Myctophidae sp.).
