Estimation of lipids in marine animals and tissues: Detailed investigation of the sulphophosphovanilun method for ‘total’ lipids

TL;DR: The phosphosulphovanillin method, previously used only for blood serum samples, is recommended for estimation of ‘total’ lipids in the tissue of marine animals, based on using a cholesterol standard which has previously been related to gravimetric values obtained on blood sera.

Seasonal variations in condition, reproductive activity, and gross biochemical composition of two species of adult clam reared in a common habitat: Tapes decussatus L. (Jeffreys) and Tapes philippinarum (Adams & Reeve)

TL;DR: The condition, reproductive activity, and gross biochemical composition of an indigenous and an introduced adult clam population raised in a common habitat of the French Atlantic coast were examined over a 74-wk period.

Triacylglycerol Content as a Condition Index for Fish, Bivalve, and Crustacean Larvae

TL;DR: It is proposed that TAG content can be correlated with larval condition when expressed in the form of a TAG-sterol ratio that accounts for the size dependency of TAG content.

Suggested ModiFications of the Micro Determination of Triglycerides

E. Van Handel
- 01 Jun 1961 - 
TL;DR: In the procedure of Van Handel and Zilversmit (1), triglycerides are measured by assay of glycerol, after removal of phospholipids, and some modifications of this method are given.

The molting cycle of the spiny lobster, panulirus argus latreille. ii. pre-ecdysial histological and histochemical changes in the hepatopancreas and integumental tissues

TL;DR: The integumental tissues from the branchial region of an intermolt spiny lobster (late Stage C) are bordered by an outer and an inner integument, which is composed of columnar epidermal cells and a sub-epidermal connective tissue of a loose spongy type.

Microseparation of glycogen, sugars, and lipids

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for the separation of glycogen, sugars, and lipids is described for use of milligram amounts of tissue containing at least 10 μg of each of the components.
