The proportion of phospholipid (PL) content of the internal muscle to TL was found to be higher than that of the external in the dorsal or ventral muscle. The major constituent fatty acids of TL, neutral lipid and PL were 16:0, 18:1, and 22:6 acid, and a similarlity of fatty acid constitution was observed between the external and internal ordinary muscle. Accordingly, it was concluded that there was no characteristic component in the skipjack muscle lipids and the component of fatty acids of each lipid class was the same as that of other marine fish species, and their composition was merely different in the relative ratio. It was assumed that such epipelagic fishes as skipjack had large amount of polyunsaturated acids i. e. docosahexaenoic acid.}, pages = {111--118}, title = {Studies on Lipid in the Muscle of Skipjack (Katsuwonus Pelamis) I : Distribution of lipid in skeletal muscle}, volume = {26}, year = {} }
