Abstract
Antiserum against the smolt specific protein (MW: 80, 000) was obtained by immunological methods in the masu salmon, Oncorhynchus masou. Using this antiserum, changes in the concentration of smolt specific protein were investigated during smoltification. The levels of smolt specific protein increased as smoltification progressed, and peaked at the time of full-smolts. The serum thyroxine levels followed closely the changes in the specific protein levels. Thyroxine treatment led to a significant increase in the serum smolt specific protein levels. These results suggest that smolt specific protein is one of specific indicators for assessment of smolt quality, and that it is synthesized under the control of the thyroid hormone.
