Abstract The authors report for the first time on the relative electrophoretic mobility (mr) of the hemoglobin of a cetacean, Delphinus delphis L.; it was determined by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate gel. A detailed description is given of the electrophoretic methods used both for the separation of hemoglobin and the plasmaprotein fractions of cetaceans; the latter was carried out either by using a cellulose acetate gel support, or (if lipoprotein fractions were to be separated), a support of Whatman No. 1 paper. In addition, plasmaprotein fractions observed in three species of the family Delphinidae (Stenella styx Gray, Delphinus delphis L. and Phocaena phocaena L.) are illustrated and discussed. This information is intended to serve as a basis for a more detailed study of the fractions obtained and for a systematic study concerning the composition of cetacean plasma.
