The hepatopancreatic fatty acid extract of the snow crab contains a high percentage (26%) of odd-carbon-numbered fatty acids and a substantial quantity (29%) of methyl-branched fatty acids, as indicated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and GLC. A wide distribution in chain length of the fatty acids (C10-C26) and in positional isomers of the linear monoenes are also indicated by GC/MS.
