Abstract :Seasonal variations in the liver and muscle fatty acid composition of Alburnus chalcoides insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Güldenstadt, 1772); from Tödürge Lake insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sivas, Turkey); were determined. The most abundant fatty acids in the investigated seasons and tissues were C16:0, C18:0, C18:1 n-9, C18:1 n-7, C20:4 n-6, C20:5 n-3, and C22:6 n-3. The total saturated fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SFAs); of the liver and muscle were at the highest in the spring insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(38.59%); and summer insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(41.65%);, respectively. The total monounsaturated fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MUFAs); were at the highest in the autumn insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(51.79%); for liver and in the winter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(40.04%); for muscle. The total polyunsaturated fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PUFAs); were determined to be at the lowest levels in the autumn for the both liver and muscle. The lowest total n-6 PUFA levels were determined as 2.60% and 4.19% in the autumn for the liver and muscle, respectively, while the lowest total n-3 PUFA levels were 14.84% for the liver insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(autumn); and 22.60% for muscle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(spring);.
