Are Rhodophyceae a dietary component for deep-sea holothurians?
Eicosatetraenoic acid (20:4(n-6)), a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), was found in deep-sea holothurians at a depth of nearly 5000 m in the temperate north-east Atlantic. It has been suggested that deep-sea animals may be able to synthesize this compound de novo . Since this fatty acid is typical...
