Depth analysis of fatty acids in two caribbean reef corals
Total fatty acid compositions of colonies of two hermatypic, reef-building corals collected during the day-time over a depth range of 21 m were determined to assess the effect of depth-related environmental factors upon the lipid content of these organisms. No systematic changes were found, suggesting a steady-state balance between algal and animal lipogenesis in these symbiotic partnerships. Stephanocoenia michelinii , a day and night feeder, contained lipids indicative of external dietary sources such as copepods, whereas Montastrea annularis , a night feeder, did not.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/46632/1/227_2004_Article_BF00391131.pd

Note on the chromatographic analyses of marine polyunsaturated fatty acids
Gas-liquid chromatography was used to study the effects of saponification/methylation and thin-layer chromatographic isolation on the analyses of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Using selected procedures, the qualitative and quantitative distribution of these acids in marine organisms can be determined with a high degree of accuracy. © 1977 Springer-Verlag
