Summary Esterase polymorphism in muscle and brain tissues of four species of freshwater fishes belonging to the family cyprinidae are examined using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzymes are classified according to their substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity. Distribution of six classes of esterases; viz. carboxyl, acetyl, aryl, choline, Esdp and ER‐esterases in the two tissues of the four species is reported.
