Seals Fat Blubber at Anthony Brantley blog

Seals Fat Blubber. A new study on inuit in greenland suggests that arctic peoples evolved genetic adaptations that allow them to get by mostly on seal blubber and meat without developing health problems. Blubber is important for most marine mammals, such as whales and seals. In addition, most seals are opportunistic. Blubber is a thick layer of fat, also called adipose tissue, directly under the skin of all marine mammals. In arctic seals, pop levels in blubber have been linked to changes in the activation of fat regulating genes. Iverson helped pioneer a technique that analyzes the types and amounts of fatty acids from prey — its fatty acid signature — in seal blubber to understand the diet of grey seals. The thick layer of fat provides insulation from cold ocean. We monitored blubber depth via imaging ultrasound at 10 sites monthly for 1 year in 2 adult steller's sea lions (eumetopias. A seal’s body stores enough fat in the blubber layer to allow the animal to go for extended periods of time without eating.
