Abstract: | In Taiwanese waters, the morphologically similar elvers of Anguilla japonica and A. marmorata can be distinguished easily at the following loci examined: CK-D *, LDH-B *, sMDH-A * and sMDH-B *. Among these, CK-D * and LDH-B * have fixed allelic differences which can be used as a synoptic key for easy discrimination of the elvers of these two species. |
