In five subspecies of Carassius auratus, such as C. a. langsdorfii, C. a. cuvieri, C. a. grandoculis, C. a. buergeri, and C. a. subsp., the C-banding patterns of chromosomes are comparatively investigated. C. a. langsdorfii is characterized by a pair of markers with remarkable C-bands on the short arms of the second largest submetacentrics. In C. a. subsp. there are two such markers in the female and one in the male.Our particular thanks are due to Emeritus Professor Sajiro Makino, M. J. A., for his invaluable advice and revision of the manuscripts.
