[Biochemical genetic markers in the study of the larvivorous fish Cubanichthys cubensis (Eigenmann, 1903) (Teleostei: Cyprinodontidae) used as a bioregulator agent of culicids in Cuba].
By means of starch gel electrophoresis, samples were analyzed from 3 populations (Batabanó, Guanímar and Isle of Youth) of Cubanichthys cubensis adult fishes, bioregulators of mosquito larvae. A study was made of six protein systems which are considered to be under the genetic regulation of 13 loci, 3 of which are polymorphic. The electrophoretic characteristics of each of them are described. By means of the genotypical frequencies of the polymorphic systems (PGI-1, PGI-2, and PGM), the 3 populations were compared with the use of the statistical G. No significant differences were found.
