Özet:

 

The total lipid fatty acid content of some organs and whole specimen of freshwater mussel Unio elongatulus were  investigated. The mussels were collected in July in 2007 from Tigris River, Turkey. Fatty acid content of selected tissues and  whole mussel were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In the  analyses, predominant fatty acids were C16:0, C16:1ù7, C18:1ù9, C20:1ù9, C20:4ù6 and C20:5ù3. Analyses of selected  organs (mantle, gills, foot and whole body) presented different and characteristic fatty acids profiles. In the gills C16:1ù7  (30.2%), C16:0 (17.4%) acids; in the mantle C18:1ù9 (20.3%), C16:0 (25.4%) acids; in the foot C16:0 (20.8%), C16:1ù7  (15.9%), C18:1ù9 (15.4%) acids and in whole body C16:1ù7 (27.6%), C16:0 (23.6%) acids were the most abundant  constituents. Also the percentages of C20:4ù6 and C20:5ù3 acids, precursors of eicosanoids, were apparently high in the gills  and foot. It is presumed that the chief fatty acids present in a particular organ are related to specific functions of the organ. In  all of the tissue analyses, ÓMUFA levels were higher than ÓPUFA and ÓSFA levels.>   	 	 		 .
