This study aimed to determine proximate analysis and fatty acid profile of whole body muscle tissue (WM) and muscles in different parts of the body, including dorsal (D), ventral (V), and caudal (C) regions, of the crimean barbel (Barbus tauricus), which is an species caught from the Gelingüllü Dam. In whole body muscle the protein, lipid, moisture, and ash contents of the fish were 18.61, 1.54, 78.49, and 1.09% respectively. The lipid contents of crimean barbel varied between 1.78 and 2.68%, wi
