Abstract

Genetic differentiation of the Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus was studied. Samples from six regions of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea were analyzed with two mtDNA genetic markers-gene of cytochrome 1 and the control region (D-loop). Comparative analysis showed significant genetic differentiation between the two groups of samples. The first group included samples from Tauiskaya Bay and waters of Western Kamchatka. The second group consisted of the samples collected in the waters of the Iturup Island (Sea of Okhotsk), Northern Kurile Islands, Navarin region of the Bering Sea, and Anadyr Bay.
