Wax esters, diacyl glycerol ethers and triglycerides were isolated from marine oils by preparative thin layer chromatography. Their densities indicated that wax esters would nearly equal squalene in effectiveness as a bouyant agent and that diacyl glycerol ethers would surpass triglycerides. Their compositions were listed to permit comparison with lipids from other sources.
