Abstract

Intraspecific genetic polymorphism of a Baikal Lake endemic, little Baikal oilfish (Comephorus dybowski Korotneff, 1905), was evaluated based on microsatellite analysis. Six microsatellite loci designed for the European sculpin, Cottus gobio, were used. Each locus was tested using 25 to 32 individuals from each of the Baikal basins (southern, middle, and northern). Analysis of genetic differentiation (F ST and R ST) revealed no statistical significant differences between the samples. The data showed that the target species was represented by a single panmictic stable population.
