Study of sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka (Walbaum, 1792) microsatellite variability in Bolshaya River

Abstract

The paper presents results of the study of genetic variability in Bolshaya River sockeye salmon by 7 microsatellite loci. A complex hierarchical organization is shown for the stock in the Bolshaya River basin. Different temporal groupings (early and late races in Nachikinskoe Lake) and ecological forms (riverine and lakustrine) were identified in this locality based on the analysis of microsatellite variability data.
