The oils were obtained from the above mentioned fish by the ether extraction.
The properties of the oils (Table-2), unsaponifiable matters (Table-3) and the components of the fatty acids (Table-5) were examined.
The yields of the Bass and Cantherines liver oils were more than the body oils.
Iodine value of the above mentioned oils was, in general, 160170. From the result of the gas-chromatography of the methyl esters of the fatty acids obtained from those oils, there were not distinct differences on the compositions between the body oils and the internal organ oils.
The fatty acids composed mainly of C14-C20 saturated and C14-C20 unsaturated acids.
The unsaponifiable, recrystallized by 90% ethanol, had mp 140-145°C, I.V. 150-180, and it was colorless crystal.
