The uptake of a labelled amino acid, tritiated leucine, by isolated oocytes of Blennius pholis L. is described. Uptake related to protein and RNA synthesis is distinguished by the use of two metabolic inhibitors. An endogenous contribution to the protein yolk is indicated but this may undergo turnover with time.
