Abstract	This paper deals with the bone structure of albacore, fin whale and deep-sea rat-tail. The major components of bone - ash, organic, fat and water content are expressed on a volumetric basis. It has been found that both rat-tail and whale bone tissue are highly mineralized and the mineralization occurs at the expense of water. The whale and albacore tissue densities were 1.856 grams/cm³ and 1.557 grams/cm³ respectively. Bone organ densities of whale, albacore and rat-tail were 1.161 grams/cm³, 1.423 grams/cm³ and 1.378 grams/cm³, respectively. The differences in bone structure with respect to physiological and environmental factors are also discussed.
