Abstract

Nine samples of Atlantic poor cod, Trisopterus minutus minutus, collected from the Bay of Biscay to Trondheimsfjord, Norway, were analysed using three minisatellite DNA loci, amplified using PCR and screened with an automated sequencer. One locus was found to be polymorphic. FST analysis using the polymorphic locus indicated that 2.2% of the total genetic diversity detected was due to differences among samples (FST = 0.022; P < 0.001). The only significant pair-wise heterogeneity was found between the Faroe Bank and each of the other samples. This is consistent with previous analyses of the same samples using 11 polymorphic allozyme loci.
