Identification of some Aegean fish species by native isoelectric focussing

In this study, native protein patterns and band analysis of 20 Aegean and 2 North Atlantic fish species were obtained by isoelectric focussing (IEF) by determining their protein (in extract), TMA and TVB-N contents. Band specifications of the samples have been determined for comparing the different species of fish used as raw material. Aegean Sea has around 40 commercial fish species and 20 of them were taken into investigation. Building up a database for characterization of these species may help to find a way for further studies.
