title: Identification of Anguilla japonica and A. marmorata elvers by allozyme electrophoresis
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.
