Polymorphic Serum Esterases in Two Species of Freshwater Fishes

Two simple, genetically determined serum esterase polymorphisms, suited for population analysis, are described in two species of freshwater fishes, white bream (Abramis blicca B.) and ruff (Acerina cernua L.). In both instances the synthesis of the enzyme bands was found to be controlled by two alle...

Description
Summary:Two simple, genetically determined serum esterase polymorphisms, suited for population analysis, are described in two species of freshwater fishes, white bream (Abramis blicca B.) and ruff (Acerina cernua L.). In both instances the synthesis of the enzyme bands was found to be controlled by two allelic codominant genes, which also in both instances were kept in equilibrium. Gene frequency data are presented from one population of each species.
