Abstract: The aim of this research was to compare the fatty acid composition of egg, sperm and diet of 3-year-old brood stock rainbow trout. The results showed that there were statistically significant (P < 0,01) differences between egg, sperm and diet levels in terms of SFA, MUFA, PUFA (n-3, n-6) and EPA/DHA, which are known as important agents for fish nutrition.
