Abstract

The present study is aimed to detect the nutritional composition and fatty acids profile of twodifferent Mullet species caught from the/a fish barrier in Köyceğiz Lagoon (Muğla, Turkey) over aperiod of 12 months. A nutritional composition (protein, lipid, moisture and ash) and fatty acidsprofile were carried out for each commercially important mullet species; Mugil cephalus and Chelon saliens using standard measurement methods and gas chromatography (GC), respectively.The nutritional composition of the species showed differences depending on the harvesting andspawning seasons. Two mullet species had the highest fat content (P
