Abstract
The data on 16 polymorphic systems (22 loci) of blood biochemical mark ers were studied in different breeding lines of European bison: Lowlan d, Lowland-Caucasian, and Mountain lines. Polymorphism was revealed in three loci: Pgm, Idh, and Tf. The average heterozygosity was 3.95%. S tatistically significant deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium towards an excess of heterozygotes was revealed in the Pgm-2 locus. T his suggests certain processes that prevent the decrease of population genetical diversity. The estimations obtained of the genetic distance s between European bison lines demonstrated the close relationship amo ng them.
