Cod Vitellogenesis
• Purification of Cod Lv
• Antiserum production and validation
• New slime and serum collection at sea
• Estradiol induction in aquarium held cod
• Serum analysis of NMFS samples
• Correlation serum Vg with ovarian histology

Winter Flounder Lipovitellin
• Heat stability of Lv!• Monomeric.• Labile is nicked!
• Single peptide = stability?• Lipoprotein = stability?

NOAA/CMER Project
• Request for Vitellogenin measurement in the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua
• NMFS contact: Frank Almeida, NMF, Woods Hole
• Albatross IV Fall & Spring Bottom Survey
![Page 5: Joe Kunkel, John Bohannon, Rahul Sharma, and Joe Zydlewski UMass Amherst Biology Department](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813b1d550346895da3cee4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ET50 of cod maturation
• Fall and Spring Bottom Survey
• Leg IV and V cover Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine
• Fall categorization of immature vs developing is a problem in establishing ET50 of maturation.
![Page 6: Joe Kunkel, John Bohannon, Rahul Sharma, and Joe Zydlewski UMass Amherst Biology Department](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813b1d550346895da3cee4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Most fish Lipovitellin is heat stable!
• Heat stable Lv: hagfish, red fish, Atlantic shad, cod, red hake, tautog, plaice, winter flounder, zebra fish.
• Heat labile Lv: chicken, cockroach, silk moth, gypsy moth, frog, spiny dog fish.

Cod Lipovitellin Purification
• Heat stabile• Large Stokes Radius
![Page 8: Joe Kunkel, John Bohannon, Rahul Sharma, and Joe Zydlewski UMass Amherst Biology Department](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813b1d550346895da3cee4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
IEP of cod serum and anti-cod-Lvs
• Both anti-cod-Lvs react with two forms of cod Vg: fast & slow
• The fast and slow forms of cod Lv are found variably in serum samples
![Page 9: Joe Kunkel, John Bohannon, Rahul Sharma, and Joe Zydlewski UMass Amherst Biology Department](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813b1d550346895da3cee4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
anti-cod-Lv reacts with other Gadid Lv!
• QIEP: Quantitative Immunoelectrophoresis
• Anti-cod-Lv1
• cod Vg = haddock Vg?
• cod fast Vg = slow Vg?

Cod in NMF Woods Hole Aquarium
• Short otter trawl cod.• Two weeks acclimation. • 10 ug Estradiol injection.• Mucous scraped.• Tail vein bled.
• No Vg in mucous!
![Page 15: Joe Kunkel, John Bohannon, Rahul Sharma, and Joe Zydlewski UMass Amherst Biology Department](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813b1d550346895da3cee4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
QIEP of Vg in Estradiol injected cod
• Slime contains no Vg
• Vg titer in serum starts to decline in 3rd week post injection
• Sex needs to be determined at end of experiment
• 5 sequential experiments

Developing Ovaries, H&E, low X
![Page 22: Joe Kunkel, John Bohannon, Rahul Sharma, and Joe Zydlewski UMass Amherst Biology Department](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813b1d550346895da3cee4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cod developing follicles, H&E
• cortical granules, nucleoli, thin chorion
• small yolk granules, large cortical granules, 2 chorion layers
• growing yolk granules dominate cortex
• large yolk granules, growing follicle, thick chorion
![Page 23: Joe Kunkel, John Bohannon, Rahul Sharma, and Joe Zydlewski UMass Amherst Biology Department](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813b1d550346895da3cee4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Odd cod found in Cape Cod Bay
• 3 similarly deformed cod suggest oddities could be found in the biochemical realm as well.

Conclusions
• anti-cod-Lv is not a litmus for maturation, but could be used to delimit lower reaches of maturation range (eg. > 47 cm.)
• cod Vg is not secreted in mucous
• Lv of most fish are heat stable
• some ‘odd’ cod males may produce Vg
