Biochemical composition of the nereidid Perinereis cultrifera from the Egyptian Mediterranean Coast

The present study documents the seasonal biochemical composition of the nereidid polychaete Perinereis cultrifera (carbohydrates, protein, lipids, fatty acids and amino acids) collected from a shallow area on the Alexandria coast, southeast Mediterranean. The results of this study showed that P. cul...
