A STUDY ON THE RACIAL CLASSIFICATION OF ASIAN CHUM, ONCORHYNCHUS KETA(WALBAUM) BASED ON SCALE CHARACTERISTICS
인상(鱗相)에 의한 아시아계 백연어, Oncorhynchus keta(Walbaum)의 계통판정에 관한 연구
Abstract
Two scale characters, the width ana circuli counts of the first-year band, were used in a discriminant function analysis to see how effectively the two scale characters would separate geographical chum stocks from the western North Pacific. A total of 476 scale samples were taken from spawning adults which ascended to rivers of Hokkaido, Japan, in 1956, and Kamchatka, the U.S.S.R., in 1957. The scale characters were examined for conformity to the statistical requirements of a discriminant function. As a result of the examinations the two characters were verified to be able to be used in a discriminant function analysis that would classify chum taken on the high seas to most Probable origin. A discriminant function computed using the two characters correctly classified 78.5 percent of the Hokkaido and Kamchatka chum fish. Of the two characters the number of the circuli could alone classify fish to its origin with nearly the same probability of correct classification as the discriminant function based on the two characters can.
