Abstract

  • 1.

    1. Variations and similarities of seven different enzyme systems were analysed electrophoretically in and among five species of starfish belonging to the genus Asterina, and the dendrogram showing their phylogenetic relationships was constructed.

  • 2.

    2. Electrophoretic data thus obtained agrees well with the phyletic relationships inferred from the immunological, morphological and embryological evidence.
