Seasonal Variability in Fatty Acid and Lipid Content in the Blubber of Pacific
Walruses 2008
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/245.B67-004

Summary
Full depth sternum blubber samples were collected from 17 adult female
walruses harvested by hunting teams from the village of Gambell, Alaska. Each
sample was split horizontally into two equal parts for separate lipid content
analysis of the inner and outer layers. Mean lipid content of samples was
78.6% (standard deviation 7.1%).
