Quantitative composition of the fertilized ovum and constituent parts in the Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L.
Quantitative analysis of fertilized, water-hardened Atlantic salmon ova was performed principally by gravimetry and thin-layer chromatography. Dry weight was 36% of mean total weight (138 mg). Dry weight of yolk was 39% of mean weight (104 mg), and dry weight of zone radiata was 8% of mean weight (5...
