 note = {The biosynthesis of fatty acids from acetate-1-^<14>C was investigated in a prawn, Penaeus japonicus, at molting stages C, D_0 and D'_1. After injection of acetate-^<14>C, saturated and unsaturated
fatty acid fractions were isolated from the whole body of prawn, and the proportional radio-activity of individual fatty acids was measured by using preparative gas-liquid chromatography
on 10% DEGS.
In every stage, radioactivity was mainly associated with palmitic (16 : 0), stearic (18 : 0),
palmitoleic (16 : 1), oleic (18 : 1ω9), and 20 : 1ω9 acids, whereas linoleic (18 : 2ω6), linolenic
(18 : 3ω3), eicosapentaenoic (20 : 5ω3) and docosahexaenoic (22 :6ω3) gave extremely low
radioactivity. These results suggest that linoleic, linolenic and ω3-long chain polyunsaturated
acids may be essential for the prawn, P. japonicus.},
