Summary Following injection of Tilapia mossambica with acetate‐1‐C 14 , their fatty acids were isolated, fractionated, and degraded. The high content of linoleic and arachidonic acids was evidently derived from the diet. Degradation of these acids revealed a distribution of carbon‐14 similar to that found in similar studies on mammals.
