Esterase activity was detected in starch-gel electropherograms of plasma samples from two species of teleost: flounder and plaice. In both species polymorphism was found. In flounder its genetic origin was indicated by population genetical data. Differences in staining intensity of the individual bands were found to be correlated with length of the animals.
