In the process of separation of bone morphogenetic proteins from bone matrix, lipids were found in unexpected amounts closely associated with noncollagenous proteins soluble in guanidine hydrochloride. Lipids representing 33.7-49.

The gill phospholipids of 2 Pacific salmon species, Oncorhynchus keta and O gorbuscha, were composed of 38-43% phosphatidylcholine (PC) and 19-22% phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Ether phosphoglycerides constituted 4-8% of the total PC fraction and 37-51% of the PE fraction. No significant changes in gill phospholipids were observed between those of pre-spawning fish in sea water and those of spawned salmon in the river.

The physiological specificity of fat digestion in several species of marine fish was studied by incubating a variety of synthetic and natural lipid substrates in fish intestinal fluid. Wax ester and triglyceride hydrolyses were studied in vivo and in vitro. In vivo feeding studies showed triglyceride hydrolysis and reesterification in the gut occurred 4 times faster than wax ester metabolism.
