Abstract:
This study presents results of study on some of the important marine environmental parameters on fatty acid composition in mollusks. Lipids are main source of metabolic energy and necessary material for the formation of cell and tissue membranes. They are very important in the physiology of marine organisms. Animals only have a limited capacity to synthesize and modify fatty acids; the fatty acid composition of their lipids is markedly influenced by taxonomic relations, diet, reproductive status, habitat, environmental parameters and etc. Furthermore, the relative ease with which lipids can be assimilated, in comparison with other classes of macromolecules, means that lipid storage is a relatively direct process, allowing rapid accumulation when foods rich in lipids are consumed. In this study, we review some of the rules of fatty acids in mollusk.
