In this study, the body composition and fatty acid profiles of Salmo trutta macrostigma
living under natural conditions in Anatolia were analyzed. The total crude protein, lipid, ash, dry matter and fatty acid profile of fish meat were determined. Crude protein, lipid, ash and moisture of Salmo trutta macrostigma were 19.92%, 3.461%, 1.18% and 75.11% respectively. The predominant fatty acids found in Salmo trutta macrostigma muscle were myristic acid (C14:0, 2.23), palmitic acid (C16:0; 18.81%), palmitoleic acid (C16:1, 8.82%), stearic acid (C18:0; 4.11%), oleic acid (C18:1 n9; 11.93%), linoleic acid (C18:2n6, 3,72%), linolenic acid (C18 : 3n3, 9.27%), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; C20:5 n3; 7.48%) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6n3; 7.69%).The Fatty acid composition analyses showed that wild Salmo trutta macrostigma consisted of 29.17% saturated (SFA), 21.58% monounsaturated (MUFAs) and,31.21% polyunsaturated acids (PUFAs).
