Genetic Comparison Between Pacific Herring ( Clupea pallasi ) and a Norwegian Fjord Stock of Atlantic Herring ( Clupea harengus )
Genetic studies on populations of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus L.) in Norwegian seawaters have revealed a number of genetically distinct fjord populations. One population in Balsfjord in northern Norway was nearly fixed for several alleles that were very rare in the Atlanto-Scandian herring sto...

Genetic studies on populations of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus L.) in Norwegian seawaters have revealed a number of genetically distinct fjord populations.
