Abstract
A band of approximately 50-51 kDa, corresponding to glial fibrillary a cidic protein (GFAP), was detected by immunoblot techniques in the bra in tissue of Sparus aurata L. The levels of GFAP immunoreactivity were determined at three different stages of development: 6 month old, 18 month old and adults reared in an aquaculture facility for 3-4 years. Our results indicated a decrease of GFAP levels during S. aurata devel opment from six month old to adult individuals. An explanation for thi s observation is suggested.
