Abstract
1. 1. Sera of the elasmobranchs Ginglymostoma cirratum (nurse shark) and Raja eglanteria (clearnose skate) were examined for the concentration of typical copper transport ligands. 2. 2. The major transport ligands histidine, albumin and ceruloplasmin were quite low in elasmobranch sera although production of melanin by liver cells was quite high. 3. 3. Serum copper content was comparable to certain mammals (rabbit, ox, horse) but considerably lower than reported values for human, rat and swine.
