1. The fatty acid composition of the depot fats of thirty-six preruminant lambs was determined. Four lambs were slaughtered at 3 d of age, two lambs were fed on a low-fat diet for 28 d, and thirty lambs in groups of three were given ten different dietary fats in artifcial milk diets for 28 d.2. The fatty acid patterns of the carcass fats were closely related to those of the dietary fats, and within-treatment variations were extremely low. Significant differences in fatty acid composition were observed between the skin, carcass, perinephric and subcutaneous lipids, irrespective of the diet given.3. The carcass lipids of lambs given the low-fat diet were similar in their fatty acid composition to those of lambs aged 3 d, though the former lambs lost fat from the carcass during the experimental period.

Seasonal changes in abundance, lipid and fatty acid composition of Calanus euxinus Hulsemann, 1991 were analysed monthly during the period from March 2012 to February 2013. The highest abundance of C. euxinus was recorded in February (847 ind. m-3) during the sampling period. Female and male C. euxinus peaked in February (587 ind. m3, 169 ind. m-3, respectively). However, copepodites peaked in November (107 ind. m-3). Average total lipid content was determined as percentage (%) and per individual (mg ind-1). It was proportionally highest in February (7.03%) and lowest in September (3.02%). However, average lipid content per individual was highest in February (0.11 mg ind-1) and lowest in September and November (0.04 mg ind-1). Major fatty acids in C. euxinus were identified as 16:0, 16:1 n-7, EPA and DHA. ΣSFA, ΣMUFA, ΣPUFA and ΣHUFA were observed to be correlated with temperature. ΣSFA and ΣMUFA increasedwith the rise in temperature (r2=0.74, r2=0.73, p<0.05, respectively) whereas ΣPUFA and ΣHUFA increased as temperature decreased (r2=-0.73, r2=-0.80, respectively, p<0.05). Additionally, while ΣPUFA and ΣHUFA increased (r2=0.61, r2=-0.68, respectively, p<0.05), ΣMUFA decreased (r2=-0.68, p<0.05) as chlorophyll-a increased. It was observed that the degree of unsaturation increased as temperature decreased. Results of the study revealed that C. euxinus has rich lipid content as well as fatty acid composition and it plays an important role in the South-eastern Black Sea ecosystem functionalities especially having key role in energy fluxes to higher trophic levels.
