Abstract
Chromosomes of 21 sockeye salmon [Oncorhynchus nerka] from 3 locations in Washington [USA] were examined. All males had 57 chromosomes, while all females had 58 chromosomes. Both sexes had 104 chromosome arms. In males of this species, The Y chromosome and an autosome apparently fused to form a metacentric chromosome.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
