Abstract
Mucopolysaccharides were obtained and fractionated from the skin of two eleasmobranch fishes, the Blue shark and Sandbar shark. In both species, the main polysaccharide fractions were hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate B. The total mucopolysaccharide content, however, varied considerably. In both species, the chondroitin sulfate B fractions were oversulfated. In both species, keratosulfate appeared to be present in small amounts.
