As the previous paper of studios on lipids in fresh-water fishes, the present study was designed and analyzed to investigate the distribution of lipid components in various tissues of snake head, Channa argus. The free lipid was consisted of neutral lipid ($66.6{sim}72.4\%$), phospholipid($17.9{sim}20.4\%$) and glycolipid ($5.7{sim}12.2\%$), while the bound lipid was consisted of phospholipid($28.6{sim}50.6\%$), neutral lipid($13.2{sim}36.1\%$) and glycolipid($3.8{sim}22.8\%$). The neutral lipid was mainly consisted of triglyceride($62.00{sim}90.20\%$) in free lipid, and esterified sterol & hydrocarbon($51.30{sim}72.70\%$) in bound lipid. The phospholipid was mainly consisted of phosphatidyl ethanolamine($28.96{sim}42.75\%$) and phosphatidyl choline ($27.85{sim}41.06\%$) in free lipid, and phosphatidyl choline($47.18{sim}52.45\%$) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine ($17.88{sim}26.67\%$) in bound lipid. The major fatty acids of polar lipid in free and bound lipids were $C_{16:0}(21.03\%,;22.62\%),;C_{16:1}(8.70\%,;30.1\%),;C_{18:1}(20.62\%,;12.11\%),;C_{22:5}(3.21\%,;6.50\%);and;C_{22:6}(7.56\%,;16.02\%)$, and these of neutral lipid in free and bound lipids were $C_{16:0}(18.98\%,;19.12\%),;C_{16:1}(9.04\%,;13.49\%),;C_{18:1}(22.94\%,;11.61\%);and;C_{22:5}(3.00\%,;10.05\%)$, respectively. The unsaturation(TUFA/TSFA) of bound lipid was 3.99, and 2.5 times higher than 1.43 of free lipid. The contents of total essential fatty acid in free lipid were ranged $7.99\%;to;14.69\%$, and slightly higher than $6.57\%;to;8.25\%$ of bound lipid. In both polar and nonpolar lipids, w3 highly unsaturated fatty acid(w3-HUFA) contents of bound lipid were ranged $22.57\%;to;31.83\%$, and $2{sim}3$ times higher than $7.88\%;to;14.03\%$ of free lipid. There were significant difference between the lipid and its fatty acid composition in free and bound lipids and/or in various tissues.
