Abstract

Six groups have been identified in the species' population structure based on the analysis of microsatellite markers' polymorphism in Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus samples within the entire western part of the North Pacific, including waters of the Pacific coast of Canada. The first group includes cod from waters of the Yellow Sea; the second group consists of cod from the Sea of Japan (eastern coast of Korea and Peter the Great Bay); the third group combines cod from Tatar Strait and the South Kuril Islands (both Sea of Okhotsk and Pacific Ocean sides); the fourth group is formed by cod from the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk and Taui Bay; the fifth-largest group includes cod from waters off western Kamchatka, the North Kuril Islands (Sea of Okhotsk and Pacific Ocean sides), Karaginsky Bay, Navarinsky area in the Bering Sea, and Anadyr Bay; the sixth group is formed by cod from coastal waters of Canada.
