Abstract
The impact of water pollution on the content of lipid components of the liver and eggs of whitefish Coregonus lavaretus is investigated. The content of triacylglycerols (TAG), sphingomyelin (SPM), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and phosphatidylserine (PS) is higher in the liver of whitefish from polluted waters being a part of adaptogenous reactions (modification of permeability of biomembranes, of activity of membrane enzymes, etc.) providing a possibility of the survival of fish under unfavorable ecological factors. The lipid spectra of whitefish gonads are more stable in comparison with the liver. This may be related to protection of the reproductive system from external influences.
