[Genetic variability and differentiation of populations of chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta (Walbaum) from the southern Russian Far East].
Allozyme variation of populations of chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta from southern Russian Far East was examined. Of 55 loci screened, 31 were polymorphic. Within-population variation accounted for most of the allele diversity; FST averaged over loci was 0.052. Linkage disequilibrium was found in less than 5% of locus pairs in the chum population examined. Analysis of within- and among-population variance components of linkage disequilibrium using D-statistics (Ohta, 1982) showed that most genetic variation was distributed among populations.
