Abstract
Plasma samples of 412 minks, including 20 families and representing 15 lines, have been investigated by isoelectric focusing for the enzyme esterase (ES). The observed variation of the enzyme may be explained as a result of one locus with at least seven codominant alleles. The segregation of six alleles assumed for the locus in 20 families supports this genetic model. Genetic divergence among the lines is observed and may be due to founder effect and/or selection.Keywords
