Abstract
1. Starch gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing of skeletal muscle, eye, brain, liver and heart extracts of Irish brown trout populations revealed extensive genetic heterogeneity. 2. Twenty-three enzyme systems, comprising a putative 63 loci, were examined. Polymorphism was observed at 13 loci of which four, PGI-2, 5AAT-4, 2IDH-1 and 2IDH-2, have not previously been reported as polymorphic in brown trout. 3. The value of the relatively high level of polymorphism, (22%) is discussed with respect to salmonid genetic research and management programmes.
