The fatty acid composition of three freshwater sponges— Ephydatia syriaca, Nudospongilla sp., and Cortispongilla barroisi —were studied. Twenty principal fatty acids, and unusually high levels of eicosatetraenoic (5,8,11,14–20:4 up to 10.1% of the total acid mixture), eicosapentaenoic (5,8,11,14,17–20:5 up to 11.6%), and docosahexaenoic acids (4,7,10,13,16,19–22:6 up to 11.8%) were detected. The only demospongic acid found was 5,9,17‐hexacosatrienoic acid (1.8–3.7%).
