Abstract: | The blood serum of 4 Tilapia species were analyzed electrophoretically for protein components, and the percentage of proteins in each fraction was determined. Sera from Tilapia nilotica
Linnaeus, T. zillii
Gervais, T. galilaea
Artedi, and T. aurea (Steindachner) were studied. Characteristic protein fractions for each species were obtained. The species differed in the number of protein fractions and in the final mobilities; T. nilotica sera migrate 120 mm, T. zillii sera 95 mm, T. galilaea sera 90 mm, and T. aurea sera 118 mm. The mobilities for fractions 1 and 2 were similar for the 4 species' sera. Inter-specific differences in the amount of protein occurred. Diet may be a major contributing factor to the variations observed in the amount of total protein. |
