The highest level of 20:5(n-3) was 10.96% of dry weight (DW) for Cysto- seira spp . however, the lowest level was 4.40% DW for Ulva spp . . The ? -tocopherol content in samples showed marked variation among samples and it was max; 17.10±0.10, and min; 9.10±0.50 ? g g -1 DW. The highest level of total carotenoids was determined in the Zostera spp . , contained as 1.09±0.14 mg g -1 DW. Nevertheless, the highest level of chlorophyll a was observed in the Ulva spp . (0.71±0.07 mg g -1 ). As a result, this present study results showed that Cystoseira spp ., Ulva spp . and Zostera spp. in the Sinop Bay could be utilized as functional ingredients for the valuable nutritional properties for seafood industriesenMarina plantsFatty acidsTocopherolBlack SeaSinop BayArticle
