Abstract

The genetic variations among spawning groups of herrings from different spawning grounds of the northwestern part of the Sea of Okhotsk was assessed using ten microsatellite loci. All loci were polymorphic with the expected heterozygosity estimates varying at different loci in the range of 0.7–95.0% (with a mean of 68.5%). The degree of genetic differentiation displayed by the herrings from the Sea of Okhotsk was not statistically significant (θ = 0.74%). The level of pairwise genetic differentiation F ST varied in the range of 0.002–0.014, nor was it statistically significant in all comparison pairs between the herring samples.
