Features of Lipid Accumulation in Striped Venus Clam Chamelea gallina in the Sublittoral Zone of the Crimean Coast (Black Sea)Borodina, Aleksandra V. (Avtor) Velyaev, Yuri O. (Avtor) Venus clamChamelea gallinaBlack Sealipidsfatty acidsseasonalitySeasonal lipid studies in shellfish are critical for assessment of metabolic lipid profiles and body condition. The aim of this study was to investigate the seasonal patterns of total lipid accumulation, identify the lipid classes, and determine the fatty acid composition of the striped venus clam Chamelea gallina from the sublittoral zone along the Crimean coast of the Black Sea. The highest levels of total lipids (TLs), including triacylglycerols (storage lipids), were observed during the winter–spring period, during which the fatty acid (FA) composition consisted of 23 species. The FA composition of C. gallina from the Crimean coast differed from that of populations in other regions of the World Ocean. The results can be used for a comprehensive assessment of environmental impacts on organisms in biomonitoring research and for evaluating the potential nutritional value of these clams.20252026-06-26 16:12:59Delo ni kategorizirano30486UDK: 5DOI: 10.19233/ASHN.2025.34slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
