The present study was conducted to demonstrate the toxic effects of Carbaryl, a carbamate insecticide, on fatty acids in the liver tissue phospholipid fraction of freshwater fish Oreochromis niloticus. The fish were exposed to 850 μg / L Carbaryl (1/10 of the 96-hour LC50 values) for 7, 14 and 21 days. At the end of the 7th, 14th and 21th days, liver tissues were taken from the sacrificed fish and homogenized in chloroform / methanol solution. Fatty acids in phospholipids were converted to fatty acid methyl esters. Gas chromatography instrument with FID detector was used for the analysis of fatty acid methyl esters. When the fatty acids of phospholipid (PL) in the liver of control fish were examined, the most important fatty acids were C16:0, C18:0 from SFA, C18:1 from MUFA, C18:2(n-6), C20:4(n- and C22:6(n-3) from PUFA. Irregular increases and decreases were recorded on days 7, 14 and 21. The results were statistically significant at P <0.05. In this study, the toxicity of carbaryl on the liver phospholipid fatty acids of Oreochromis niloticus was demonstrated.
