Abstract Liver samples from groper Polyprion oxygeneiosis collected around the coasts of central New Zealand, were tested for two polymorphic enzymes, glucosephosphate isomerase and a-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase. Repeat samples from Cook Strait and off the Wairarapa coast showed that variation in electromorph frequencies was as great within as between areas.
