Extract

Preliminary feeding experiments (Morris, Ferguson & Raymont, 1973) showed that Neomysis integer was capable of incorporating dietary labelled [1-14C]fatty acids (16:04 18:1,18:2,18:3) into its lipid. Radioactivity was observed in all the major fatty acids of Neomysis, including the polyunsaturated fatty acids. Neomysis could also convert dietary 14C-labelled starch into lipid, producing a range of fatty acids, including long-chain polyunsaturated acids, incorporated in both triglycerides and phospholipids. During these metabolic conversions, the mysid was observed to incorporate more radioactive14C into the phospholipid fraction with increase in the experimental feeding period.
