A Genetic Comparison of Sympatric Populations of Sand Lance (Genus Ammodytes) from the Region East of Cape Soya, Japan
Sand fance (Genus Ammodytes) collected from four stations off Japan and one station at Kodiak, Alaska were genetically characterized at 17 protein coding loci using starch-gel electrophoresis. Sand lance in Wakkanai (Cape Soya, Japan) consist of two genetically distinct groups. They are fixed for di...
