  • Title: [Divergence of mitochondrial DNA in a population of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka Walbaum) from Azabache'e lake (Kamchatka)].

    Journal: Genetika; 2003 Dec; 39(12):1687-92. PubMed ID: 14964837.
    Abstract:
    Variability of three PCR-amplified mtDNA regions was examined in five populations of sockeye salmon from Azabach'e Lake. Eighteen haplotypes were detected in 144 fish. Significant differences were found between seasonal races of sockeye salmon spawning in the lake. The short time of independent divergence between the seasonal races indicates that these races formed independently in each spawning region. No difference in mtDNA between lake samples of early sockeye salmon (subisolates) was revealed, which confirms the existence of gene flow between them. A high level of differences between the sockeye salmon spawning in the lake and spawning in the tributaries of the lake, the Bushuev and Lotnaya rivers, suggests that there were no migration between them during many generations and that the nature of spawning grounds (lake or river) is essential for within species differentiation in this species.
