Abstract :Total lipids, fatty acid composition of Squalius pursakensis fillet samples captured from Melen River Basin during winter, spring and summer seasons were evaluated. Total lipid levels were as 1.80% in winter, 2.56% in spring and 5.17% in summer. The composition of fatty acids showed that total polyunsaturated fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(32.05-38.90%); were highest, followed by monounsaturated insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(29.85-35.40%); and saturated insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(27.10-31.23%);. The fatty acid composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PUFAs); in fillets of S. pursakensis shows a high content n 3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EPA C20:5 n 3); and docosahexaenoic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DHA C22:6 n 3); with maximum rates of 6.70% and 16.33%, respectively insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. The saturated fatty acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SFA); content was dominated by palmitic acid with the maximum ratio of 19.03%.
