Lipid content and composition during the oocyte development of two gorgonian coral species in relation to low temperature preservation.

Our previous studies have suggested that chilling sensitivity of coral oocytes may relate to their relatively high lipid intracellular content and lipid composition. The distribution of lipids during the oocyte development was determined here for the first time in two gorgonian species (Junceella ju...
