Abstract

The dynamics of fatty acid composition have been studied in differently aged salmon juveniles (0+, 1+, 2+ parrs and 3+ smolts) inhabiting two biotopes of the Varzuga River (the White Sea basin) differing in ecological conditions. Differences in the levels of linoleic (18:2n-6), linolenic (18:3n-3), and oleic (18:1n-9) acids have been revealed. It has also been shown that 3+ smolts have an increased content of long-chain fatty acids—arachidonic (20:4n-6), eicosapentaenoic (20:5n-3), and docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3)—characteristic of the composition of marine-type lipids.
