| Abstract |
Seasonal variation in the amounts of triglycerides, phospholipids, unsaponifiable matter and cholesterol in the lipids of Sardinella longiceps was investigated. As a % muscle wet weight, the phospholipid content shows little seasonal change but as a % total lipids remarkable variation is shown. It bears an inverse relationship to triglyceride content. The amounts of unsaponifiable matter and cholesterol in the total lipids are high in May-June, when the total lipid content is low. The increase in phospholipid as a % total lipid in April-June is accompanied by an increase in unsaponifiable matter and cholesterol. |
