Abstract

A protocol for combined analysis of cholecystokinin (CCK) levels based on radioimmunoassay (RIA) and fluorescence tryptic enzyme activity (FTA) was developed in order to accomplish a sensitive analysis of individual bodies and gut segments of fish larvae. Methanol was used for CCK extraction. The gut of herring larvae contained 8.9±1.2 fmol CCK/mg dry weight and in the post-larval Atlantic halibut the CCK levels varied significantly (p
