An electrophoretic survey of the common carp revealed 33 loci. Nine were found to be polymorphic including two phosphoglucose isomerase loci, a phosphoglucomutase locus, three esterase loci, a lactate dehydrogenase locus, a malate dehydrogenase locus, and transferrin. Five of these polymorphic loci are reported for the first time, the two phosphoglucose isomerase loci, a phosphoglucomutase locus and two of the three esterase loci. Differences in allele frequencies between the European and Chinese races were found at most loci. © 1979 International Society for Animal Genetics
