Abstract
The gene products of 60 protein coding loci in Schilbe intermedius were examined by horizontal starch-gel electrophoresis. Electrophoretic analysis, using muscle and liver tissues, revealed polymorphism at 17 (28.3%) of the loci studied. The average heterozygosity (H) was calculated at 0.029 (±0.009) which is less than values obtained for other fish species. These results suggest that measures should be taken to conserve the genetic variation of this species.
