Abstract: Tissue esterases polymorphism were studied in two prawnsof Macrobrachium rosenbergii (fresh water prawns) andPenaeus monodon (marine water prawns )in six tissues viz; Gill, Hepatopancreas, Intestine, Muscle, Brain and Eye.Comparison were made between fresh water prawns ie Macrobrachium rosenbergiiwith marine water prawns ie Penaeus monodon across various tissues.In Macrobrachium rosenbergii, five esterase zones were identified, with the hepatopancreas and intestine showing the highest diversity. CE esterases were predominant in muscle and eye, while ChE esterases were common in other tissues. Penaeus monodon exhibited three esterase zones, with the Rm .50 zone present in all tissues, showing various esterases. Notable esterases in this species included ArE, Esdp, and Ese.
