...always say "fish oil"? When you can get algal oil that doesn't come from nasty chopped up dead fish? And I would think algal oil might be even better, because the fish get the DHA from eating that algae, so why not just skip the middle man?
As far as I know, there is no difference in the effects of fish oil and the effects of algal oil.
 
I think its a money thing but otherwise I have no idea. WHO claims that Omega 3 from fish MAY (they are not certain) be absorbed better.
