Abstract excerpt
Haemoglobin polymorphism in cod (Gadus morhua L) has been investigated throughout the last 50years. Field studies have shed light on the geographic distribution of the two common alleles (HbI(1) and HbI(2)), and laboratory studies have shown effects of genotype on physiological traits such as growth, reproduction and hypoxia tolerance. The geographic distribution of alleles shows a correlation with temperature,...
