Summary Twenty enzymes and three non‐enzymatic proteins were examined by electrophoresis in samples of the Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus. The observed phenotypes were attributed to genes at thirty‐nine loci. Seven loci were variable giving a mean heterozygosity of 0.049 ± 0.033. Heterozygosity estimates for marine teleosts are discused.
