Abstract
1. The main differences in fatty acid composition of blubber between the Saimaa seal (Phoca hispida saimensis) and the Baltic seals (Phoca hispida botnica and Halichoerus grypus) were, that in fresh water the proportions of polyunsaturated C18 acids and arachidonic acid (20:4 omega 6) were high. 2. The trend became more evident when data on ringed seals from northern oceans were compared with the present data. 3. The proportions of exogenous 20:1 and 22:1 were extremely low in ringed seals from Lake Saimaa and in Baltic seals compared with seals living in oceans.Entities:
