Picture[edit]

Maybe a picture of actual blubber would be more appropriate? Cazort 22:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blubber in fish?[edit]

Is blubber seen in fish?

I ate lots of Seawolf (fish) recently. Those were filets slices cut from that "Stonebiter", with the skin around the slice. Under the skin is on closer inspection a 1-2 mm thick layer of what from appearance and function (thermal insulation) should be fat.

HOWEVER, said fat did not melt on frying, it got rather slimy and glibbery and is really not amusing to eat. Could this be blubber? If not, what is it?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.73.213.30 (talk) 14:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What biochemical differences?[edit]

Along the lines of the above question, what 'are' the biochemical differences between blubber and other types of adipose tissue?--66.245.62.25 07:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spic[edit]

Should we mention that 'spic' refers to some/all types of whale? blubber ? - Rod57 (talk) 03:50, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vitamin C[edit]

The article mentions blubber as an important source of Vitamin D for Arctic native people, but does not mention Vitamin C. Wasn't blubber the source of both? 2601:441:4900:A6E0:6CEF:A62F:D2DB:454 (talk) 13:34, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ocean Mammal Blubber[edit]

Has any research been done on if the blubber of ocean mammals compress, at depth, to form a shell protecting the inner organs? 2601:14B:4281:810:9014:33C8:307D:DD2E (talk) 22:39, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
