ABSTRACT Fatty acid composition was analyzed in neutral lipids (NL), phosphatidyletanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) of Pecten maximus (L.) ovaries from Western Norway. Individual ovaries were selected based on macroscopic characterization. Two series were compared; (1) ovary development from recovering to half-full ovaries during the autumnal restoration of the gonads and (2) seasonal variation with late filling ovaries from different pairs of the year.
