Abstract
1. 1. Fatty acids composition of phytoplankton in sewage treatment ponds of Meze evolves over time with taxonomic origins of the population. 2. 2. The major types seen in the course of an annual cycle are differentiated by the unsaturation level of their total fatty acids. 3. 3. This level is high for Bacillaryophyceae, lower for Cyanophyceae, between the two preceding levels for chlorophyceae. 4. 4. Only the fractions rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids can represent an essential constituent of feeding regime in aquaculture. 5. 5. Due to the presence of short-sequenced saturated fatty acids, reputed tobe skin irritants, liposoluble extracts of the phytoplankton represent only a limited interest for cosmetic trade.
