Abstract
The cellulose acetate electrophoretic patterns of three species of lizard fishes, Saurida undosquamis, S. tumbil and S. elongata were observed. The property of muscle proteins soluble in salt solution of low ionic strength in each species was analyzed for the mobility and percentage of each component, and the number of components in the electrophoretic pattern. Although the differentiation among these three species was distinct, S. undosquamis was more similar to S. tumbil than to S. elongata, and S. tumbil was intermediate between S. undosquamis and S. elongata in this character. This trend was parallel with that of the morphological evidence. It is also verified that electrophoretic patterns of muscle proteins were very stable for at least 45 days, when the specimens were stored at -20°C.
