117 goosefish plasma from the Mediterranean coast have been analysed. Total plasma proteins gave mean values of 2.8±0.9 for males and 3.3±1.1 g/100 for females. The cellulose acetate and starch‐gel electrophoresis showed 7 and 13 fractions respectively. Different albumin patterns were observed but their distribution did not have a genetic basis. In 107 specimens a mean TIBC value of 278 ± 125 μg Fe% was found. The saturation coefficient of the transferrin was from 15–20%. The specimens had a single Tf band and one individual had a slower Tf band. The presence of an haptoglobin polymorphism has been suggested. The plasma haptoglobin concentration by an electrophoretic method was determined and a concentration from 28–31 mg Hp% was obtained.
