dc.description.abstract | 16 enzymes were examined for genetic studies of the harp seal population
structure in the Northeast Atlantic. Muscle and liver samples were collected
in the West Ice off Jan Mayen and in the Eastern Barents Sea in 1987, 1989
and 1990. The samples were analyzed by starch gel electrophoresis and
isoelectric focusing.
Among 25 resolved loci, 12 were found to be variable. By isoelectric focusing,
muscle tissue was found to express five polymorphic esterase systems, but
due to technical difficulties, only EST -3 was consistently resolved. EST -3 and
another three systems (AAT-2, ALP-2 and LDH-1) were polymorphic at the
95% criterion and were employed in comparative analysis. Another four loci
were variable, but alternative alleles in these loci were rare. Most variable
loci were exclusively resolved with isoelectric focusing.
No significant variation among samples were found, although the sample
collected off Jan Mayen in 1989 derived from the rest of the samples in
phenotype distributions in three or the four polymorphic systems. | no_NO |
