Abstract

The component fatty acids of cod roe resemble the flesh lipid fatty acids to a considerable degree. Comparison with the liver lipids of male and female fish suggests that less essential longer-chain monounsaturated fatty acids from the liver depot fat are metabolized by the female for the synthesis of particular fatty acids required by the developing eggs.
