The developmental stages of oocytes, eyed eggs, and alevins from salmon (Salmo salar) were compared for their yolk protein composition. In oocytes, SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed high amounts of a protein with the molecular weight (M r ) of 94 000. In eyed eggs, the 94 000 protein dec...
