Analysis of morphological differencies of the homo- and heterozygous males and females of pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (Walbaum) in the population of the river Ola (the northern coast of the Sea of Okhotsk)

Cytology and Genetics 2006, v 40, number 5, 3-9

The distinctions of the average values and dispersions of the length and the weight of a body in homo- and heterozygotic groupings of five loci (G3PDH *, sMDH-B1,2 *, PGDH *, FDHG* and PGM-2 *) were analysed in a population of pink salmon of the river Ola. It was shown that the character of correlation between genotypical structure and morphological trait is not obligatory and identical for each gene. In our opinion polygenic complexes and not separate genes determine the morphological traits.
