抄録

<jats:p>Five highly variable microsatellite loci were used to investigate population structuring in Pacific herring <jats:italic>Clupea pallasi</jats:italic> collected from Kodiak Island, two sites in the Bering Sea and four sites within Prince William Sound, Alaska. All loci revealed high levels of variability with heterozygosity estimates ranging from 86 to 97% (mean heterozygosity: 89%). The variation was structured significantly among sites suggesting that the samples investigated were genetically distinct from each other. Genetic divergence was greatest between populations from the Bering Sea and those from Prince William Sound. The Kodiak Island and Point Chalmers samples appeared to be distinct from the Prince William Sound and Bering Sea populations. The observed genetic distance relationships among samples could be explained largely in terms of geographical separation.</jats:p>
