Resumo

1. From the muscle of 20 species of fresh-water fishes, l-histidine, carnosine, anserine, and balenine were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography. 2. All cyprinoidei fishes contained significant amount of l-histidine and trace of dipeptides. 3. High concentration of anserine was found in salmonoidei fishes, irrespective of salmonidae and osmeridae. 4. Two species of anguilloidei contained large amount of carnosine, small of l-histidine, and determinable of anserine and balenine. 5. Only trace amounts of these compounds were found in percoidei fishes. 6. The levels of these compounds represented no large difference among species belonging to sub-order group as well as family.
