The amount of iodine in sea fish varies depending on the specific type of fish.
Based on available data, certain types of lean sea fish contain notable amounts of iodine per 100 grams.
Iodine Content in Specific Lean Sea Fish
According to research, average iodine levels found in 100g of lean fish species include:
- Haddock: 138.8 ± 7.1 μg
- Horse Mackerel: 127.9 ± 8.1 μg
- Sea Bass: 149.7 ± 2.2 μg
These figures, reported on 19-Mar-2024, highlight the variation in iodine concentration among different species, with sea bass showing a slightly higher average compared to haddock and horse mackerel in this specific study.
Understanding the Data
The values represent the average amount of iodine in micrograms (μg) found per 100 grams of raw or cooked fish (the reference doesn't specify, but typically nutritional data is for raw or common preparation). The "±" value indicates the standard deviation, showing the variability of iodine content within samples of that fish type.
| Fish Type | Average Iodine Content (μg / 100g) | Standard Deviation (± μg) |
|---|---|---|
| Haddock | 138.8 | 7.1 |
| Horse Mackerel | 127.9 | 8.1 |
| Sea Bass | 149.7 | 2.2 |
Sea fish are often considered a good dietary source of iodine, an essential mineral for thyroid function. Including a variety of fish in the diet can contribute to meeting daily iodine requirements.
