GENETIC ANALYSIS OF DUPLICATE MALATE DEHYDROGENASE LOCI IN THE PINK SALMON, ONCORHYNCHUS GORBUSCHA

The results of breeding experiments with the pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, indicate that s-MDH-A and s-MDH-B subunits are each encoded by duplicate loci. Limited evidence suggests also that the two loci encoding for the s-MDH-A subunit are each polymorphic and linked or pseudolinked.
