## Abstract Seven yolk proteins (YPs), four large lipoproteins (YPs1–4) and three minor yolk components (YPs5–7) including one phosphoprotein (YP7), were purified from extracts of vitellogenic ovaries of grey mullet (__Mugil cephalus__) by combinations of hydroxylapatite, ion exchange, immunoadsorb
