Fatty acids in plasma of California sea lion pups (Zalophus c. californianus) from Los Islotes, Baja California Sur, Mexico

Abstract: Nutritious fats include all the lipids ingested as food and are composed mainly of triglycerides mixed with smaller quantities of other lipids. Fatty acids (FA) constitute the part of most nutritious interest in triglycerides. The fatty acid composition was assesed in the blood plasma of California sea lion pups (Zalophus c. californianus) from Los Islotes, Baja California Sur, in the Gulf of California, during 1999. Blood samples were obtained from 35 anesthetized sea lion pups, 21 males (M) and 14 females (F… Show more

“…As far as we know, there are no reports on the fatty acid composition of the fats of these fur seals and sea lions, and we have yet not obtained a sample to analyse it for the reasons stated above. Yet comparison with fatty acids of Californian sea lions, such as Zalophus californianus, indicate that they contain saturated pentadecanoic (C 15:0 ) and heptadecanoic (C 17:0 ) acids and the monounsaturated acids palmitoleic (C 16:1 ) and heptadecenoic (C 17:1 ) in their lipids (Castro-Gonzá lez et al, 2003). This is interesting in so far as pentadecanoic (C 15:0 ), heptadecanoic (C 17:0 ), palmitoleic (C 16:1 ) and heptadecenoic (C 17:1 ) acids are present in the archaeological pigment samples of Shamakush I.…”
