Significant differences were found at the synaptophysin (Syp I) locus between two groups of Icelandic cod Gadus morhua; Loftstaðahraun (spawning ground), Reykjanesgrunn and Eyrabakkabugur (feeding grounds) on the one hand and Kantur (spawning ground) and Austfjarðadjú p (feeding ground) on the other. There was also a considerable genetic heterogeneity within the former group. The results indicate that the cod in south and south-east Icelandic waters do not belong to one panmictic population. 1999 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
