Observations on the inherent variability of measuring lysozyme activity in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch).

Abstract excerpt

Lysozyme activity is a common measurement of innate immunity. It has also been used to investigate genetic variation and an animal's responses to factors such as stress, infections and variations in diet. This research demonstrates the inherent variation in lysozyme activity in unstimulated coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). The role of maternal contribution, early life stage development and fish mass are...
