Abstract
Starch gel-electrophoresis was used to survey genetic variation among samples from four different populations of Barbus brevipinnis. Thirtee n of 30 loci were found to be polymorphic. It is suggested, based on t he extent of the genetic differences between populations, that the pop ulations collected from the Waterberg should be regarded as an undescr ibed species of Barbus.
