Distribution of mitochondrial DNA variation in lake sturgeon ( Adpenser fulvescens) from the Moose River basin, Ontario, Canada
We analysed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation of lake sturgeon ( Adpenser fulvescens ) from the Moose River basin. Our objective was to address various proximate and ultimate factors which may influence the distribution of lake sturgeon mtDNA haplotype lineages in this watershed. The lake sturgeon...
