Abstract
Fairy Shrimps (Anostraca) have a great importance as live food in aquatic animals larviculture. They are important for enhancing growth rate and survival rate in various aquatic animals specially, sturgeon, salmonidae, Astacus leptodactylus. Fatty acid profile of fairy shrimps Chirocephalus skorikowi and Streptocephalus torvicornis from Aigher Goli and Ghom Tappeh pools of East Azerbaijan, Iran were determined using GC technique. The results showed that they had a large amount of EPA, DHA, Σ n-3 HUFA Linolenic acid and Linoleic acid, as though their highest amounts in various pools were; 9.85, 1.05, 10.30, 12.73 and 5.75 percent respectively, that had a great value comparing with Artemia. These animals contain of 11-50 %protein, highly unsaturated fatty acid specialties such as high amounts of EPA and DHA, carotenid complexes and as a live food enable to provide nutritious needs of growth stages of various aquatic animals (specially in sensitive larval stages) and improve their life spans and meat quality.
