Abstract

This work describes results of genetic analysis of progeny of Atlantic salmon from a single redd. Five single-locus mini-satellite DNA probes were used for parentage analysis. Results suggest that multiple males were involved in fertilizing the eggs. The role of multiple paternity on conservation of genetic variability in relicted populations of Atlantic salmon is discussed.
