Lipids, proteins and carbohydrates diminish in the liver and muscle of cod when (a) food is inadequate or (b) the gonads are maturing. The results reported in this paper appear to show that the mobilisation of the lipids differs according to whether the need is just for energy (simple starvation) or for building up gonads. Two groups of fish from the same catch were starved. In one, the gonads were developing, while in the other the gonads had been surgically removed. Significantly more of the fatty acid C22:6 was mobilised from the liver lipids in the group with developing gonads, this fatty acid being present in the greatest amount in the gonads of either sex. The fatty acid C18:1 is also important in the gonads, and this was also preferentially removed from all the livers of maturing-starving fish when compared with gonadectomised-starving, though here the effect was not statistically significant. Some discrimination therefore appears to be exercised when hepatic lipids are removed for gonad development. No selectivity was observed in the mobilisation of fatty acids from the muscle.
