✦ Synopsis

Mid-water, oceanic crustaceans were either fed food labelled with (14C) palmitic acid under controlled conditions, or injected directly with (1~C) palmitie acid. Lipid classes and their constituent fatty acids and fatty alcohols were subsequently separated and assayed for radioactivity. Significant levels of radioactivity were present in the t6:01 alcohols and 18:l acids of wax esters, and in the ~16:0/16:i, i8:0/18:i, 20:5 and 22:6 acids of both triglycerides and phospholipids. It was concluded that these crustaceans were capable of biosynthesis of wax esters and higher polyunsaturated fatty acids.
