QUANTIFICATION OF DEFENSIVE PROTEINS IN SKIN MUCUS OF ATLANTIC SALMON USING MINIMALLY INVASIVE SAMPLING AND HIGH-SENSITIVITY ELISA

Quantification of Defensive Proteins in Skin Mucus of Atlantic salmon Using Minimally Invasive Sampling and High-Sensitivity ELISA

Protocols used to collect fish skin mucus may inadvertently compromise the sampled fish or the resulting sample.Here, we used three methods (wiping, scraping, and absorption) to collect skin mucus from Atlantic salmon and compared their invasiveness on fish skin epithelium.We found that the absorption method was the least invasive.We also compared
