A lot of the fat content would have to do with the diet of the fish and the amount of activity. All the Whitefish that I have caught have been in rivers. They are more active there and have a cleaner diet as opposed to a semi stagnant lake.
The other Whitefish I catch are the Pacific White Fish in the ocean. Those are some of the tastiest fish around. The used to use the Ocean Whitefish for virtually all of the fishsticks that were sold before they changed over to a different species.
I too have done studies on the many species around the world. Virtually all fish store any extra fats in the head and skin. As long as you are not eating the skin or head, then you are avoiding @95% of the fat content that the fish have. You will still benefit form the Omega 3 fatty acids which are good for you and help to fight the bad fat in your system.
Salmon, Steelhead and Trout are all high in these Omega 3s.[cool]
