The samples were collected from total twelve stations in Giresun, Trabzon, Rize and Artvin by scuba and free diving. Sea snail length and weight ranged from 52.85 to 74.27 mm, and from 66.71 to 78.97 g. Meat yields (%) in summer and autumn were higher than spring and winter. Average meat yields were determined as 19.50 %. Amounts of dry matter, crude ash, crude protein and crude fat percent in biochemical parameters were changed depending on seasons and stations, minimum - maximum values of the seasons were found as 23.87-25.36 %, 2.23-2.35 %, 15.36-17.16 %, 0.46-0.73 %, respectively. The lowest and highest seasonal average ratio of palmitic (C16:0) and stearic (C18:0) acids in saturated fatty acids (SFA) were determined in summer and winter, respectively. There were no statistical differences (p>0.05) among seasonal changes in total saturated fatty acid (SFA) values. Total monounsaturated fatty acid (ΣMUFA) values ranged from 30.45 mg/100g to 54.84 mg/100g, and values in summer and spring had statistically significant difference (p<0.05) from other seasonal values. The highest value among fatty acid groups was found in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) as 119.05 mg/100g. Arachidonic (C20:4n6), eicosapentaenoic (C20:5n3) and docosahexaenoic (C22:6n3) acids had highest values in PUFA. Changes in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) values in summer and autumn were statistically different (p<0.05) from other seasonal values. While total EPA+DHA values were between 27.40 and 93.42 mg/100 g, Σn6/Σn3 ratio was found as 1.10 and 0.90. In conclusion, it was determined that nutritional composition of sea snail in Eastern Black Sea Region was affected by differences between station and seasonal changes. </span> <i> </i> </span> </p> <p> <i> </i> </p> <i> </i> </div>}, number={1}, publisher={Ege Üniversitesi}
