Extensive polymorphism at adenosine deaminase in the marine fish Sciaenops ocellatus(L.)

Summary Eleven different allelic variants at the adenosine deaminase (ADA) locus have been detected using vertical starch‐gel electrophoresis among 474 individuals of the marine fish Sciaenops ocellatus (L.). Thirty‐five of the 66 possible genotypes were observed, and the heterozygosity level at ADA...

Description
Summary:Summary Eleven different allelic variants at the adenosine deaminase (ADA) locus have been detected using vertical starch‐gel electrophoresis among 474 individuals of the marine fish Sciaenops ocellatus (L.). Thirty‐five of the 66 possible genotypes were observed, and the heterozygosity level at ADA was estimated to be 70·3%. The extensive polymorphism at ADA may prove useful in terms of providing genetic markers for stocking programs using hatchery‐raised fish.
