Analysis of correlation between discrete genotypical characteristics and quantitative morphological traits in Oncorhynchus nerka (Walbaum) of the Kamchatka river

Cytology and Genetics 2003, v 37, number 6, 47-54

Correlation of m, a, d quantitative parameters with a genotypic composition of LDH-B2* and PGM-2* loci in spawned population of the sockeye salmon from the Kamchatka river has been analysed with the Fisher-Mather method (Bezrukov, 1994). Different values of m, a, d parameters were revealed for morphological characters depending on: 1) genotypic composition on each locus, 2) sexual composition of the population. The simple influence of heterozygosity was found on one locus for females and males separately.
