A method is described by which the adult females of marine and freshwater teleosts can be distinguished by a biochemical test performed on a blood sample. The test depends on the measurement in the blood plasma of alkali-labile protein-linked phosphorus, a specific measure of yolk protein (vitellogenin). In vitellogenic females, values of 20–100 μg protein phosphorus ml plasma−1 are usually found, while in males, non-vitellogenic females and immature fish of both sexes the value is <7.5 and usually <5 μg ml−1. At the appropriate season, most females can be positively identified. Good results can be obtained 2–3 months before spawning, and in some species for an undefined period after spawning. The advantages of this method over immunological techniques for the determination of vitellogenin, such as radioimmunoassay and immunoelectrophoresis, are the wide range of vertebrate species to which it can be applied, and its low cost. Its disadvantages are its lower sensitivity and the larger volume of plasma (0.5 ml) which must be used.
