Abstract
The fatty acid content of depot fat samples from 15 northern fur seals (C. ursinus) were determined by GLC. C. ursinus has a high proportion of short chain saturated acids; C10, C11, C12, C13, C15. Unsaturated longer chain acids C16:1, and C16:2, and C18:1 also were found. Results obtained are compared to a previously reported milk lipid analysis of the northern fur seal.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
