The label on mine says it is wild caught Portuguese mackerel. You might ask the company at www.colestrout.com about the specific type of mackerel.

It says "deep, cold water fish including mackerel and sardines" in the product description. The label mentions "deep, cold water fish" without specifically mentioning a type. They do seem to be high quality and work well. We've been using them for over a year now.

Our fish oil is sourced from anchovies and mackerel, which swim in the cold Humboldt Current in Chili (they are not farm raised).Thanks, Kurt - Young Life Research

For as long as I've use salmon oil, I've not refrigerated and have not had it spoiled. I live in Hawaii...the tropics. Recently I 've switched to Icelandic Anchovy Sardine Oil as Anchovies are not bottom feeders so less heavy metals.

This brand also has Wild Skipjack Light Tuna which is reportedly lower in mercury than Albacore.

We use deep sea cold water fish from Chile and Norway that are low in mercury such as mackerel and sardines.

Hello, the Kirkland albacore is caught in the cold North Atlantic they say at least 100 miles off coast so they never have problems with mercury & belive it is flash frozen. It is fresher than I have bought at most docks, the fresh tuna at docks has always been fishy tasting since its stored on ice not knowing how old it really is. Not sure where it is canned at but have never had a bad can. The tuna I bought in CA is where its been fishy tasting never bought it in the atlantic. Not sure how it is caught.

The sardine anchovy oil is wild caught but other oils by this company are farm raised. I would never feed my beloved dogs anything made with farm raised fish.

My cats seem to like "Ocean" flavors better then chicken, but also I like that the salmon has the Omega 3 for a softer and shinier coat. This is my opinion, but I feel that it is legit.

I have no idea what Qunol is. Is that CoQ-10? I liked the Krill Oil over the regular fish oils as they were smaller and didn't smell as bad. Krill oil is suppose to be better source of healthy omegas. I kept mine in the fridge and never had any fishy burps.

When using the word "better" you need to define paramaters. A naturally harvested cod liver oil, Carlson for example, is tested for mercury content and many other very dangerous chemicals that have found their way into most fish. Cod liver oil is higher in vitamin D content, the lack of which has recently been associated with MS, and several other very bad afflictions. On the less severe list of afflictions is joint pain, a feeling of just feeling crappy, arthritis-like pains in the back, and so forth. One of the better medical websites maintained by an MD who has been associated with vitamins and minerals recommends 2000 IU's of vitamin D per day but unfortunately, all this vitamin crap you find on the big chain store shelves is synthetic - which means you system AT BEST is only absorbing ten percent of what you take of the synthetic crapola. The Carlson cod liver oil is produced in Norway and even though a teaspoon only contains 400 IUs of D, it is very pure so your system absorbs it all. Unfortunately, to preserve the cod liver oil's freshness, vitamin A is added, which means that every teaspoonful of codliver oil also has about twice as many IUs of vitamin A. Excess amount of vitamin A can be hazardous to your liver. So, we can say that the naturally harvested cod liver oil is "better" because it has no contaminants and is far more easily absorbed by your system, but the higher content of vitamin A it contains to preserve freshness is not so good, which makes it less better? I am afraid of fish oil because most contain a lot of mercury, and purity has always been in question.

I'd recommend adding KH and GH, otherwise you should be fine. Also, give had great luck fishless cycling with Dr Tims ammonia (really cheap on Amazon).

Genova Tonno Olive Oil is albacore. "Solid Light" is more likely to be yellowtail. That matters if you value line-caught/dolphin safe over net-caught, though U.S. purse seiners are pretty good about releasing the dolphin before landing the tuna.

The can says: Produced for Wild Planet Foods, Inc. (1-800-998-9946) McKinleyville, CA Processed in Vietnam . This is not telling you where it is caught but is does say it is pole and troll caught. It touts to be lowest in mercury. I eat it and am convinced it is the best I can find and afford......best taste of ALL I have tried....no water or oil added......rich flavor. Hope this helps, Barbara.

I'm afraid one is "cod, sole and shrimp" - the others are salmon and one is just called ocean whitefish! I hope this helps!

I just realized there was gelatin in here. Must be pork gelatin otherwise it would state fish or plant gelatin. and I don't eat pork! good thing I don't consume this anymore. ive contacted Nordic naturals and if they say anything important I will post here. thanks!
