Abstract excerpt
Sequence analyses of the non-coding, control region (CR) and coding region of the ND4-tRNA(Ser) genes in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were conducted for populations of the ayu Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis and the Ryukyu-ayu P. a. ryukyuensis. The level of genetic differentiation between the two subspecies evaluated from the CR data was substantially low, when comparing with that estimated from ND4-tRNA(Ser)...
