Genetics Summary for Clupea pallasii

Main ref.	Hinegardner, R. and D.E. Rosen, 1972
Country
Locality/Yr.	Unspecified			Sex.
Chromosome number	Haploid/gametic (n) : 26			Ref.	Ohno, S., U. Wolf and N.B. Atkin, 1968
	Diploid/zygotic (2n) : 52 - 52			Ref.	Ida, H., N. Oka and K. Hayashigaki, 1991
Chromosome Type				Ref.	Ida, H., N. Oka and K. Hayashigaki, 1991
Metacentric	0	Subtelocentric	0	MetaSubmetacentric	6
Submetacentric	0	Telocentric/Acrocentric		Subtelo-Acrocentric	46
Chromosome arm no.	58			Ref.	Ida, H., N. Oka and K. Hayashigaki, 1991
Sex determining mechanism				Ref.
DNA Content (haploid)	0.77			Ref.	Hinegardner, R. and D.E. Rosen, 1972
Genetic markers	Yes			Ref.	O'Connell, M., M.C. Dillon, J.M. Wright, P. Bentzen, S. Merkouris and J. Seeb, 1998
Remarks	NF = 60; 8 metacentric and submetacentrics and 44 acrocentrics. Polymorphism is caused by Robertsonian transformation (2N= 50, 51, 52; NF= 60) and interpopulation differences is caused by the frequency of Robertsonian transformations (Ref. 6508 and 6509). DNA content = 0.98 pg (haploid) (Ref. 6414). Also Ref. 8971. Five highly variable microsatellite loci used to investigate population structuring in Pacifiic herring suggest that the populations from Kodiak island, two sites in the Bering sea and four sites within the Prince William Sound, Alaska were genetically distinct from each other (Ref. 27358).
