Abstract: | The sting ray, Dasyatis bleekeri (Blyth), has been studied for lipids and fatty acids of its liver. The neutral lipids identified were hydrocarbons, wax esters,
steryl esters, 1-O-alkyl-2,3-diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols, and sterols. Neutral lipids were predominant (91.8%), major components being
triacylglycerols (92.7%). Polyenoic fatty acids of n-3 series, viz. eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, were high in the phospholipid and neutral lipid fractions. Cholesterol was
the major component (67.9%) in the steryl ester fraction. Glyceryl ethers, with chainlengths up to 30 carbons, were recorded
with unsaturated, anteiso, iso, and normal chains. In wax ester alcohols, up to 32-carbon chains were recorded. Hydrocarbons
were up to 36-carbon chains with anteiso, iso, and normal chains. Among branched chain hydrocarbons, pristane was the major
component (6.7%) and squalene was present at the level of 3.5%. Chimyl and batyl alcohol backbones were the major components
found in 1-O-alkyl-diacylglycerols. |
