Fish oil was extracted from the head of longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol) using various supercritical carbon dioxide (SC -C02) technique and Soxhlet method, for comparison of the yield. The extraction were performed at temperature 45 to 65 °C and pressure 20 to 40 MPa, where 65 °C/40 MPa gave the highest yield of 20.6, 35.4 and 34.1 g/ 100 g sample
