Abstract

.The results of ANOVA showed that the highest rate of lipid per liter in salinity of 45 g / l and the amount was 98.74%, but there was not significant difference with other treatments. Among all the fatty acids measured, Myristic acid has the highest values in all 4 treatments, however, showed the highest value in treatment 4 (salinity of 45 g / L), total saturated fatty acids and also total monounsaturated fatty acids(MUFA) showed not significant difference between treatments(p>0.05). total polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA) and also total omega-6 fatty acids had the highest valus in treatment 4 (salinity of 45 g / L), but total omega-3 fatty acids had highest valus in treatment 3(salinity of 30g/l).
Also in the case of Protein, The highest valus of protein was observed in treatment 2 With the amount of 60.21% and following that, the treatment 1 with the amount of 51.71% and treatment 3 with amount of 49.29% were placed respectively in degrees the second and third. The lowest valus of protein was observed in treatment 4 with amount of 47.71%. The findings of this research showed that Spirulina microalgae could be grow successfully in high salinity waters without major impact on their fatty acids.
