Abstract
An antiserum was raised in a rabbit against 0 panel red
cells of mackerel. The erythrocytes of oil sardine and mackerel
were tested against human blood typing sera anti A and B
and also the test serum of rabbit which revealed the presence
of antigens A and B. In addition, an antigen common to
both the fishes and human A, Band 0 panel red cells was
noted but not identifiable. The blood group B did not manifest
itself clearly either in oil sardine or mackerel. The blood
groups A, AB and 0 indicated the existence of genetically
different groups of oil sardine and mackerel. Isoagglutinin
tests revealed the presence of a reciprocal relationship with
antigens A and B in both these fishes.
