In Taiwanese waters, the morphologically similar elvers of Anguilla japonica and A. marmorata can be distinguished easily at the following loci examined: CK‐D *, LDH‐B *, sMDH‐A * and sMDH‐B *. Among these, CK‐D * and LDH‐B * have fixed allelic differences which can be used as a synoptic key for easy discrimination of the elvers of these two species.
