The fatty acid composition of several crustaceans with various habitats was investigated by gas-liquid chroma togr aphy (GLC) on 10% DEGS. 2. The lipids obtained from a prawn, Penaeus japonicus, crab, Helice tridens tridens tridens, and shrimp, Palaemon paucidens, were rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (42.0-47.9% of total acids) and deficient in the long chain monoenoic acids. A terrestrial crab, Sesarma dehaani, contained less polyunsaturated fatty acids (26.3% of total acids) but more saturated acids. 3. In all crustaceans examined, most of the polyunsaturated fatty acids were composed of the ω-type of acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (C_20 5ω3). 4. The shrimp, P. paucidens, and the crab, S. dehaani, comprised more monoenoic acids (38.6-40.5% of total acids) as compared with the prawn, P.japonicus and crab, H. tridens tridens tridens.}, pages = {41--46}, title = {Analysis of Fatty Acids of Some Crustaceans}, volume = {25}, year = {1976} }
