Samples of three species of Indian carp, Catla catla, Cirrhina mrigala, and Labeo rohita, were examined when they were 480 days old by biochemical tests and electrophoresis of the blood and plasma. The three species did not differ significantly in total plasma protein (micro‐Kjeldahl), relative amounts of total plasma protein and total lipoprotein, and plasma albumin. Significant differences were found in body weight, blood sugar, α 1 ‐, α 2 ‐, β‐, and γ‐globulin fractions from the plasma, and lipoprotein fractions. Electrophoretic studies revealed two qualitatively different components: a second hemoglobin band in Catla catla, and a third lipoprotein fraction designated α F in Cirrhina mrigala. The three species were found to differ significantly when weight, blood sugar, α 1 ‐, α 2 ‐, β‐, and γ‐globulin fractions from the plasma were considered simultaneously.
