Abstract / Introduction / Summary:
Genetic strains (cytochrome b region, 1141 bp) of the Oncorhynchus masou complex from Domain’s Stream, the Jarougawa River of the Hitotsusegawa River, Miyazaki Prefecture were firstly examined and discussed by their genetic feature, compared with those of other Miyazaki rivers. Two unique and new haplotypes of Oncorhynchus masou were detected in the Jarougawa River. Such haplotypes of Group D (Kyushu-Yamame) might be suggested as adapted genetic strains among temperate characteristic rivers under “warm laurel forest” like Miyazaki area, Kyushu, southern Japan
