我4年前systemically reviewed about 2 thousand peer-reviewed articles regarding impact of Omega-3 fatty acids on lowering cholesterol level. It's clear at the dose of EPA (one of the active ingredients in fish oil) no less than 1,700 mg per day lowers cholesterol level significantly.
In general, one research article is not enough to conclude any significant effects, particularly those not well designed.
Omega-3s are the key functional ingredients in fish oil.
The article even doesn't show how much Omega-3s in fish oil, specially EPA and DHA. Some fish oils only contain 30% wt. Omega-3s, some can be 90% wt. Thus, this study is not well designed!
