Figure 4. Principal component analysis loading plot of fatty acid and fatty alcohol profiles of denuded skeleton and isolated tissue of four scleractinian species prepared with the air-spraying method (% fatty acids).

Colour gradient shows percentage contribution to overall variance. Fatty alcohol abbreviations: 16 Ac, Hexadecyl acetate; DMA, 18:0, 1,1-dimethoxyoctadecane; 16:OH, 1-hexadecanol.
