[Studies on allozyme of Gammatricula].
OBJECTIVE
To furnish molecular genetic evidences for taxonomy of Gammatricula.


METHODS
A total of 24 enzymes of 6 populations of Gammatricula songi and 1 population of Gammatricula chinensis collected from Kaihua County and Chunan County of Zhejiang Province were studied using horizontal starch gel electrophoresis.


RESULTS
29 loci were found. The percentages of polymorphic loci of G. songi populations were 6.9%-13.8%. All loci of G. chinensis were monomorphic. The Nei's distance among G. songi populations did not exceed 0.12. The Nei's distance between G. songi and G. chinensis was 0.73.


CONCLUSIONS
The allozyme variations of inter-G. songi are limited, but the allozyme variation between G. songi and G. chinensis is significant.
