Abstract

Variability at the locus of major histocompatibility complex MHC-I A1 in 20 populations of pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha from the five major geographical regions of the Russian Far East was studied. Indices of genetic differentiation at all levels of the hierarchy were unexpectedly high and comparable with the corresponding estimates in related species of Pacific salmon. The data obtained allow us to revise the existing hypotheses concerning intraspecific structure of pink salmon, in particular, to reject the “fluctuating stock” hypothesis. Good resolution of the detected marker will find application in the problems of identification of populations in mixed catches.
