Abstract

The lipids of liver, plasma, muscle and adipose tissue were separated by thin layer chromatography. The fatty acid compositions of the cholesterol esters, triglyceride, diglyceride and phospholipid fractions were determined by gasliquid chromatography. In our fish the percentage of C₂₀,C₂₂ polyenoic acids was lower than in fishes in general due to the lack of planktonic crustaceans as food constituents. The concentration of palmitoleic acid was high in the lipid franctions of all tissues. The plasma cholesterol esters in the carp, in contrast to mammals, contain no significant amounts of linoleic or arachidonic acids. The concentrations of palmitic and stearic acid were higher in the phospholipids than in the triglicerides while with the corresponding monoenoic acids there was an inverse relationship.
