Abstract excerpt

We studied sequence variation of a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing of 109 Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) from the Baltic and 19 cod from the White Sea. Eight nucleotide substitutions define 12 haplotypes differing from each...
