The fatty acids composition of aceanic Gastropod Xancus pyrum have been analysed by combined GC-MS technique, and the result showed the presence of 8 saturated and 6 unsaturated fatty acids. The methyl fatty acids were identified as n-decanoate, n-tridecanoate, n-pentadecanoate, n-hexadecanoate, n-octadecenoate, methyl nonadecanoate, 3,3-dimethyl heneicosanoate, n-pentacosanoate, and tetradecenoate, pentadecenoate, hexadecenoate, heptadecedienoate, heptadecenoate, octadecadecedienoate. Keywords: Fatty acids, gastropod, Xancus pyrum.
