Abstract
The fatty acid composition of the blubber from a lactating female seal has been examined in detail. Comparisons with the fatty acid composition of a milk sample and with generally observed blubber fatty acid compositions in other species suggest selective utilization of particular depot fat fatty acids during the nursing period.Keywords
