Summary
A study of the blood serum proteins and lipoproteins of five species of India freshwater fish (Catla catla, Labeo rohito, Cirrhina mrigala, Labeo bata andLabeo calbasu) has been carried out, by the agar electrophoresis method. The blood protein pattern of fish is significantly different from that of other mammalian species. Though the general pattern of the five species of fish studied appear to be similar, appreciable interspecies variation is found to exist in the blood protein make-up of freshwater fishes.
