A chromosome polymorphism involving a Robertsonian rearrangement has been found for two consecutive years in pink salmon from Lake Superior. Although the majority of the fish have a diploid number of 52, as previously reported for Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, 10–15% of the population have 2n = 53, in whi...
