Abstract
Nemadactylus macropterus was sampled from eight localities around southern Australia, ranging from Western Australia to New South Wales, and from one area off the western coast of New Zealand. Thirty-three enzyme loci were analysed by gel electrophoresis. Average heterozygosity per locus per sample was 10.1 %, ranging from 8.4% to 11.I% per sample. Although no significant differentiation was observed among the Australian samples, there was significant differentiation between the Australian and New Zealand samples. This was primarily attributable to variation at the sAAT-I * locus, where the common allele had a frequency of around 0.80 in Australian samples and around 0.94 in the New Zealand sample (PKeywords
