Fatty acid methyl esters were prepared from spadefish ( Chaetodipterus faber ) liver oil and were analyzed by open tublar gas chromatography. The unusual fatty acid trans ‐6‐hexadecenoic acid was identified as a major monoenoic component by reductive ozonolysis and by mass spectrometry of the di‐trimethylsilyl ether. Very minor amounts of 7‐methyl‐7‐hexadecenoic acid were found.
