We used electrophoresis to determine the number and characteristics of genetically distinct stocks of odd‐year pink salmon in Washington and southern British Columbia. We analysed 5128 fish from 52 collections (taken in 1985, 1987 and 1989). We observed genetic variation at 53 enzyme‐coding loci, 19...
