Abstract:

Twenty-one enzyme loci have been resolved by starch gel electrophoresis in liver and muscle tissue of samples of 282 red foxes, 39 stoats, 13 weasels, 24 pole cats, 2 pine martens, 121 beech martens, and 5 badgers. No variation in the mobility of electrophoretic bands within the seven species of carnivores was observed. The genetic variability is, thus, low as in several large mammals.
