Intraspecific differences in erythrocyte antigens (blood types) were shown to occur in four species of Pacific salmon, the sockeye or red salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), the chinook or king salmon (O. tshawytscha), the chum salmon (O. keta), and the pink salmon (O. gorbuscha). Antisalmon-erythrocyte sera prepared in rabbits and chickens were used after absorption of species-specific antibodies. Some of these blood types were shown to differ in their frequency of occurrence between different geographic races. In addition, isoimmunizations were prepared and at least eight different patterns of antigenic composition were displayed by the cells tested. These results indicate that considerable antigenic diversity exists in salmon. Reagents to detect valuable markers for the investigation of geographic races of salmon should be obtained through further research.

Excerpt from Blood Types in Pacific Salmon One of the most important problems in fishery biology is recognition of races or reproductively isolated subpopulations, of fishes. Since there may be little or no interbreeding or recruitment between such populations, successful regulation or management of fishery resources must be con ducted in such a way as to recognize their independence.

A literature search, starting from scratch, is expensive in terms of time spend in comparison with information gathered. This bibliography includes earlier references by Hunn (1959, 1960) that provide some information to anyone seeking a range of "normal" blood values for fish blood chemistry as well as additional literature that attempts to evaluate the physiological responses of fish to changes in their environment.
