Abstract
The lipids of the pink jelly1fish (Cyanea capillata) have been isolated and separated by gel filtration into polar lipids, triglycerides, and a sterol. The fatty acid compositions were determined by gas–liquid chromatography, and are characterized by a high proportion of polyunsaturates. A special relationship involving arachidonic acid and C. capillata in the diet of the Atlantic leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea coriacea) is proposed.Keywords
