Title
THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE CRAYFISH (Astacus leptodactylus) IN POND YENICE
Abstract
The changes in the compositions of crude protein, fat and fatty acid in the muscle tissues of male and female samples of Astacus leptodactylus acquired by hunting in the dates between November 2007 and June 2008 which is the breeding season for the crayfish from Pond Yenice which is used for irrigation in Çanakkale province, Turkey, are examined in the study. Whereas the amount of crude protein in male samples is around 11.78-15.68%, it is identified that the amount is around 13.09-17.59% with the female samples. Fat changes from 3.29- 4.95% for the male samples, 3.67-5.82% with the female samples. It is observed that there is a continuous increase in the compositions of crude protein and fat generally through the beginning and the end of the sampling period. The amounts of EPA, DHA and AA show change according to the breeding season and season. Keywords: Astacus leptodactylus, Fatty acids, Crude protein, Lipid, Seasonal change.
