Abstract
(1) Length - weight measurements were made
on the fish species examined and statistical analysis
carried out on the data.
(2) Eye lens nuclear proteins were examined
electrophoretically.
(3) Differences were found between all the
species studied and the results obtained indicated
significant inter-specific variation.
(4) In the electrophoretic study, correlation
between the similarity of the electrophoretic patterns
and the closeness of the relationship between
species was observed.
(5) The results indicate that physical parameters
and eye lens proteins have considerable potential
as sources of taxonomic information.
