Abstract

In this investigation, the liver and muscle tissues of Panulirus homarus from Bushehr region in the Persian Gulf in Aug 2013 were separately extracted for their lipid content especially omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids composition using the method of Blight & Dyer. The compounds were determined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC- MS). The components detected in the liver and muscle tissues, include saturated fatty acid Palmitic acid, monounsaturated fatty acid Oleic acid, polyunsaturated fatty acids Arachidonic acid (AA), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), andone methyl ester of fatty acids including Octadecanoic acid, methyl ester. The results showed that Eicosapentaenoic acid and Palmitic acid were the composition dominant fatty acids in the species.
