“…Previous molecular-genetic studies based on analyses of allozymes, and mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA, suggest a separate genetic status of the marine and lake forms of Pacific herring ( Gorbachev, Solovenchuk & Chernoivanova, 2011 ; Kurnosov & Orlova, 2021 ; Kurnosov, Orlova & Smirnova, 2016 ; Orlova et al, 2019 ; Rybnikova, Upryamov & Pushnikova, 1983 ; Semenova et al, 2012 ; Semenova et al, 2018 ; Shimizu, Takahashi & Takayanagi, 2018 ). However, the status of the lake form of Pacific herring is still under debate, since the differentiation between the forms was shown only on microsatellite markers ( Orlova et al, 2019 ).…”
