ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to investigate the seasonal variability in the biochemical composition in both sexes of Loligoforbesi, (Streenstrup 1856) in two locations in Egypt: the Mediterranean Sea off the coasts of Alexandria and north of the Gulf of Suez. The study is also aimed to document for the first time the fatty acids composition in both sexes in each location. There was a significant difference in the seasonal variations of total protein (P = 0.0001), total lipids (P = 0.036) and total carbohydrates (P = 0.009). Also, there was a significant difference in total lipids (P = 0.008) between sexes. Total lipids and protein declined from spring to summer and ...
