Abstract
Of 851 specimens ofTridentiger obscurus andt. brevispinis collected from Lake Hinuma (Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan) from July 1996 to February 1998, 49 (5.8%) comprised F1 hybrids and backcross progeny of the two species. Since the mitochondrial DNA haplotypes of the F1 hybrids reflected those ofT. brevispinis, most instances of hybridization are thought to have occurred between maleT. obscurus and femaleT. brevispinis. Although both allozyme and mitochondrial DNA analyses indicated backcrossing and introgression of mitochondrial DNA, the frequency of backcross progeny was relatively low, suggesting the existence of a natural selection to backrossing.
