Abstract: Allelic variation in six highly polymorphic microsatellite loci (mean heterozygosity, 86%) provided evidence that cod (Gadus morhua) in the northwest Atlantic belong to multiple genetically distinguishable populations, and further that genetic differences may also exist between northwester...
