Abstract: Hemoglobins of Ohrid Lake trouts Salmo aphelius Kottelat 1997, Salmo balcanicus and Salmo letnica have been analyzed in agarose gel electrophoresis. Electrophoretical patterns of these three species revealed the presence of multiple hemoglobins: three anodic fractions and two cathodic fractions. This study provides information on hemoglobin electrophoretical patterns of fish individuals of the length 24-51 cm and weight from 150-1150 g. The electrophoretic fractions migrated closely together with a relative mobility of anodic bands (fractions) varying between 0.324 and 0.418 and of cathodic bands varying between 0.479 and 0.691. No difference has been detected for hemoglobin components on agarose gel electrophoresis and adult individuals between these three examined groups of Ohrid Lake trouts. Hemoglobin concentrations in the adults of Salmo balcanicus, Salmo aphelius and Salmo letnica were in the same levels with some other salmonids.
