Abstract
1.1. Seasonal variations in fatty acid composition of the triacylglycerols and phospholipids of an indigenous and an introduced clam species reared in a common habitat were analyzed using gas-liquid capillary column chromatography.2.2. Despite different geographical origins, the fatty acid spectra of the two related species were quite similar.3.3. In both species the fatty acids of the triacylglycerol fraction, but not the phospholipid fraction, showed clear seasonal variation corresponding to the annual temperature cycle and not to reproductive activity.4.4. It is argued that such variations are related to the diet and are not endogenous.
