Description:	l. Electrophoretic analyses of the lactate dehydrogenase isozyme patterns of 23 species of tropical fishes belonging to the orders Cypriniformes, Siluriformes and Perciformes indicates that at least two LDH loci--Ldh-A and Ldh-B are active. In the Perciformes species, in addition to these loci, the Ldh-C is also present, and restricted in its expression to the eye and brain. 2. Genetic variants were detected in the Ldh-A and Ldh-B loci of Leporinusfriderici and in the Ldh-B locus of Schizodon borelli Cypriniformes. 3. An increase in the occurrence of the Ldh-BB' and Ldh-B'B' allotypes of Leporinus friderici was observed along the successive collects that started in 1980. This change in phenotypic frequency suggests that this polymorphism could be related to environmental conditions.
