title: The heptadecanoic fatty aldehyde--one of the main aldehydes of the far-eastern Bryozoa.
abstract: 1. The relative content of 16:0, 17:0 and 18:0 fatty aldehydes in the lipids of eight species of the far-eastern Bryozoa was studied. 2. Heptadecanoic aldehyde is one of the main aldehydes in the seven species investigated comprising about 30% of the sum of these main bryozoan aldehydes. 3. We suggest the unusually high relative heptadecanoic aldehyde content in the lipids of Bryozoa may be helpful in settling some problems concerning their system.
