總共有278尾的中國彈塗魚從臺灣六個地區包括淡水、宜蘭、台南、大甲、大肚及澎湖採集並藉由澱粉膠電泳法來估計其遺傳上好歧度之程度,14個同功酶中共得到二十二個基因座(loci)及四十七個等位基因(alleles),其Nei氏平均遺傳相似值為0.996(其值介於0.993-0.999之間)代表具有高度相似的蛋白質結構,多型性基因(polymorphic loci),在0.95水準範圍從0.0909到0.2727平均值為0.1742,期望平均異型結合數(ex-mean heterozygosity)從0.028到0.065平均值為0.051,而各族群之間的平均分化度的Fst值僅為0.0235,結果顯示大多數的族群並不符合哈溫平衡,可能是由於某些因素例如土壤中的重金屬含量影響此結果。
The degree of genetic divergence of two hundred and seventy eight specimens of the Chinese mudskipper, Periophthalmus cantonensis (Osbeck, 1762) collected from six locations in Taiwan was estimated using starch gel electrophoresis. Fourteen enzymes corresponding to 22 gene loci and 47 alleles were recognized. An average Nei's genetic identity of T= 0.996 (0.993-0.999) indicated highly homogenous protein structure. The proportion of polymorphic loci (0.95 level) varied from 0.0909 to 0.2727 with a mean of 0.1742; expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.028 to 0.065 with a mean of 0.051. The mean Fst differentiation among populations was only 0.0235. However, observed population phenotype numbers partly disagreed with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; this is probably due to some factors that affect the disequilibrium.
