Summary Six phenotypes of aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) and three phenotypes of adductor muscle protein were found in extracts of the native oyster ( Ostrea lurida ) by starch gel electrophoresis. The AAT phenotypes were presumed to be genetic variants under the control of three allelic genes ( A, B, C ) and the muscle protein phenotypes under the control of a two‐allele system ( A and B ).
