Crustacean surface waxes. Part I. The hydrocarbons from the surface of Ligia oceanica

Abstract

The surface lipids of the crustacean Ligia oceanica have been isolated, and the hydrocarbons separated into six major fractions. The n-alkanes, with a maximum chain length at C33 and a minimum at C14, are the largest fraction (3·85%); the others are 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (pristane)(0·82%), heptadec-8-ene (0·55%), heptadeca-8,13-diene (0·45%), two unknown hydrocarbons (0·65%), and cholestadiene (0·3%), the last identified for the first time in marine lipids.
