 note = {The biosynthesis of fatty acids from palmitic acid (16: 0) was examined in the
prawn, Penaeus japonicus, at the intermolt stage. After injection of 16: 0-1-^<14>C,
polar lipids (PL) and neutral lipids (NL) were isolated from the whole body of P.japonicus, and the proportional radioactivity of individual fatty acids constituting
PL and NL was determined by preparative gas-liquid chromatography followed by
radioactive measurements of the trapped samples.
In PL and/or NL, radioactivity was mainly associated with 12: 0, 14: 1, 16: 0,
18: 1ω9, and 20: 1ω9 but not or scarcely with 18: 2ω6, 18: 3ω3, 20: 5ω3, and 22:
6ω3. These results suggest that 18: 2ω6, 18: 3ω3, 20: 5ω3, and 22: 6ω3 may be
essential for the prawn, P.japonicus.},
