Observations on the Fatty Constituents of Marine Plankton

Abstract

ABSTRACT In view of the relations which are believed to exist between the vitamin content of the diet and that of the fats stored in an animal’s body it is of considerable interest to examine the oils separated from phytoplankton and zooplankton respectively. The isolation of the oils and the results of their general chemical examination are described in a preceding paper (Collin, 1934).
