Electrophoretic Studies on Eye Lens and Muscle Proteins of some Flat Fishes off Bombay Coast

Abstract

Electrophoretic profiles of eye lens protein and muscle proteins of Cynoglossus macroIepidotus, Pseudorhombus elevatus, Zebrias quagga and Asopia cornuta show species specific band pattern. A total of 8, 9, 10 and 9 bands in eye lens proteins and 7, 5, 9 and 5 bands in muscle proteins were observed in the above mentioned fishes respectively. The use of electrophoretic profile of eye lens proteins and muscle proteins in fish taxonomy is discussed.
