Abstract

Genetic polymorphism of esterase isozymes was examined in different developmental stages of Gambusia affinis after staining with ?-napthyl acetate as substrate by 7.5% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Samples were just after birth, seven, 14 days old fry, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 days old  male and female. Altogether three esterase bands named as Est-1, Est-2 and Est-3 were observed. Est-1 was absent in seven samples out of 13, Est-2 was absent only in just after birth, Est-3 was  absent in seven different samples out of 13 samples. This result indicates that Est-1 and Est-3 were  less active and Est-2 was very active at ? napthyl acetate.
