Abstract

The fatty acid composition of some tissues of wild salmon (Salmo trutta macrostigma Dumeril, 1858), caught from Pulur Creek of Karasu Basin was investigated. The highest total saturated fatty acid content was in gonad and the lowest value was in liver, the difference being significant (P < 0.05). On the contrary, the highest n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid was found in liver and lowest in adipose tissue (P < 0.05). Monounsaturated fatty acid content was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the adipose compared to other tissues. The n3/n6 ratio was highest in muscle.
