| Abstract: | The main task of this study was to check if it is possible to distinguish two different hake populations, using the technique of allozyme electrophoresis. Two populations of European hake (Merluccius merluccius), one Atlantic (Portugal) and one Mediterranean (Greece), were examined using allozyme electrophoresis. Five different enzymes were tested. Nine gene loci (six of them polymorphic) and fifteen different alleles were revealed in total. Allele frequency differences between the two populations were significant only for EST-1 * and EST-2 * loci (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the EST-1 * and EST-2 * loci can be assumed as diagnostic between the two populations. |
