Abstract
Quantitative and qualitative studies of proteins from the mature eggs of five carps—Cirrhinus mrigala, Labeo rohita, Cyprinus carpio, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Ctenopharyngodon idella were made. It is found that there is much difference both in the quantity and quality of proteins in these five species. As egg proteins in a species depend on the genome, it is suggested that the study of these protein types may be considered as an additional parameter for characterisation of the fish types.
