Genetic analysis of duplicate malate dehydrogenase loci in the pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha.

Inheritance of Alpha-Glycerophosphate Dehydrogenase in the Pink Salmon, ONCORHYNCHUS GORBUSCHA (Walbaum).

Genetic crosses of alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH) phenotypes in the pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (Walbaum), reveal that this enzyme is encoded by a single locus with two codominant alleles (Slow and Fast). The significance of single gene control of alpha-GPDH is discussed in relation to the purported tetraploid nature of the salmonids.

Genetic linkage mapping of allozyme loci in even- and odd-year pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha).

We constructed genetic linkage maps of allozyme loci in even- and odd-year pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), using the total of 320 families (each female was crossed with two different males, and 80 females and 160 males were used for each of even year and odd year). The maps include eight linkage groups involving 22 loci. We observed substantial variation in recombination frequencies among...

Assessment of the genetic toxicological impacts of the Exxon Valdez oil spill on pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) may be confounded by the influence of hatchery fish.

Physiological consequences of the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) on juvenile pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha): implications for wild salmon ecology and management, and for salmon aquaculture.

Pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, are the most abundant wild salmon species and are thought of as an indicator of ecosystem health. The salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, is endemic to pink salmon habitat but these ectoparasites have been implicated in reducing local pink salmon populations in the Broughton Archipelago, British Columbia. This allegation arose largely because juvenile pin...

Evidence of Olfactory Imprinting at an Early Life Stage in Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha)

Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) navigate towards spawning grounds using olfactory cues they imprinted on as juveniles. The timing at which imprinting occurs has been studied extensively, and there is strong evidence that salmon imprint on their natal water during the parr-smolt transformation (PST). Researchers have noted, however, that the life histories of some species of Pacific salmon co...
