We generated 436 expressed sequence tags (EST) from a Yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata (Temminck & Schlegel), kidney cDNA library. Of these, 233 EST (53.4%) showed no homology to known genes, while 203 EST (46.6%) showed homology to known genes and transcripts. Bio‐defence‐related cDNAs identified from kidney were ikaros, an immunogloblin light chain and several heat shock proteins. Of the other related EST, 57 were homologous to 27 different ribosomal‐related proteins and rRNA genes, 2 different mitochondrial genes and the remaining 77 encoded 36 different identified genes.
