Summary This study shows that the mitochondrial genome may enable discrimination of coho salmon from different geographical areas such as the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska (GOA). Mitochondrial DNA from three coho populations in the GOA, and two in the Bering Sea, was assayed with 21 restriction endonucleases. While all coho populations showed variation in enzymes for 10 restriction sites, Bering Sea populations had more variability than GOA populations. This could be explained by more recent colonization by GOA populations and/or smaller-size GOA populations. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 54(4):940-949, 1997.
