Abstract

The total soluble epaxial muscle proteins of two species of Oreochromis (locally known as "tilapia"), 0. mossamlicus and 0. .0th-us, including five strains of 0. niloticus (Kenya, Thailand, Israel. and two from hatcheries in Laguna) were analyzed through Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis in order to differentiate these strains and species. A total of 25 banding positions were resolved. Found to be unique to O. mossarnbicus were banding positions 8, 17, and 20. Banding positions 11, 19, and 21 were unique to 0. niloticus. There are also markers found to distinguish certain 0. niloticus strains. Banding positions Z 9, 12, and 18 are unique to 0. niloticus, Kenya strain. Bandung positions 1 and 7 are present only in Philippine strains 1 and 2.
