Abstract
1. 1. Liver carbamyl phosphate synthetase was assayed in representative primitive fresh water bony fish: Scaphirhynchus platorynchus (shovel-nose sturgeon), Polyodon spathula (paddlefish), Lepisosteus platostomus (short-nose gar) and Amia calva (bowfin). 2. 2. Liver carbamyl phosphate synthetase was present in all species examined and showed a range of 0·008 ± 0·002 (P. spathula) to 0·029 ± 0·008 (L. platostomus). © 1974.
