Abstract
The sera of most Alaskan red salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka Walbaum) were found to contain at least 14 antigenic components when tested by the double diffusion precipitin analysis method of Ouchterlony with antisera prepared in rabbits. Two of these components, designated antigens I and II, were missing from 116 of 125 blood samples from red salmon taken in Asian waters. In contrast, only 31 of 905 blood samples from red salmon of American origin lacked these components. Intermediate frequencies of occurrence of these antigenic components were found in blood samples from red salmon caught in the central North Pacific and Bering Sea. The results are considered indicative of the intermingling of Asian and American stocks of red salmon in these al-ol
An additional antigen (or antigens) was found which occurs in the sera of only mature or maturing female red salmon.
