R. Galleguillos et al., POPULATION DIFFERENTIATION IN THE CHILEAN HERRING, STRANGOMERA-BENTINCKI (PISCES, CLUPEIDAE) .1. GENETIC-ANALYSIS OF PROTEIN VARIABILITY, REV CHIL HN, 70(3), 1997, pp. 351-361
Allozyme variation was used to investigate the genetic structure of St
rangomera bentincki, from samples coming from the fishery zone of San
Antonio, Talcahuano and Puerto Montt. The average heterocigozity per l
ocus and per individual was 0,062. The Wright' fixative index for meas
urement the amount of genetic differentiation between localities, show
ed a maximum value of 0,029 and a minimum of 0,006, indicating high ho
mogeneity between the samples. A dendrogram that represents the geneti
c distance, shows a tendency to separate samples coming from Puerto Mo
ntt to those of Talcahuano and San Antonio.
