Abstract
1. 1. An extraction medium was sought that would produce the highest quality electrophoretic patterns of proteins from bivalve molluscan adductor muscles. 2. 2. Cellulose acetate electrophoresis was conducted on adductor muscle proteins extracted with distilled water or various concentrations of saline, with and without dialysis, from three bivalve molluscan species: Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas; Japanese littleneck clams, Prototheca semidecussata; and Hawaiian mussels (Mahawele), Isognomon constellateum. 3. 3. The protein patterns obtained by electrophoresis revealed that muscle extracted and dialyzed in 0.030 g% NaCl solution produced superior patterns.
