Biochemical Composition of Fertilized Striped Bream Pagellus erythrinus(Linnaeus, 1758) Eggs

Musa Bulut, Ihsan Celik and Soner Bilen
This research aims to describe the biochemical composition of fertilized eggs of striped bream, Pagellus erythrinus (Linnaeus, 1758) and their protein, ash, moisture, lipid and fatty acid % contents. The results showed that striped bream eggs have a value of moisture, protein, ash and lipid; 74.20±0.6, 11.27±1.15, 2.03±0.20 and 4.73±0.15%, respectively. Fatty acid analysis showed that striped bream eggs contain saturated fatty acid of 36.88±0.025%, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) of 32.61±0.240% and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of 30.42±0.175%. Moreover, contents Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) of 4.60±0.036%, Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) of 16.66±0.077%, Arachidonic acid (AA) of 1.12±0.033% , w-3 of 23.06% and w-6 of 7.36% were also determined.
