Abstract
Data are presented supporting hypotheses of Mendelian inheritance for biochemical genetic variation in three species of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) and in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). Variants studied included: chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha)—tetrazolium oxidase; sockeye salmon (O. nerka)—phosphoglucomutase; coho salmon (O. kisutch) —transferrin; rainbow trout—alpha glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, tetrazolium oxidase and transferrin. Variation in the frequencies of these polymorphisms among populations indicates a usefulness of these variants for the identification and characterization of populations.
