An Electrophoretic Study of Blood and Milk Proteins of the Southern Elephant Seal, Mirounga leonina

No electrophoretic variation was found in the blood proteins transferrin, haptoglobin, hemoglobin, LDH, and caeruloplasmin in 97 southern elephant seals from Macquarie Island. Variation was observed in two whey proteins in ten females from the same population. On the assumption that the variation in...

Zusammenfassung:	No electrophoretic variation was found in the blood proteins transferrin, haptoglobin, hemoglobin, LDH, and caeruloplasmin in 97 southern elephant seals from Macquarie Island. Variation was observed in two whey proteins in ten females from the same population. On the assumption that the variation in these whey proteins is genetically controlled, 0.17 of the loci examined are polymorphic, and the proportion of heterozygous loci per individual is 0.075.
