FISHERY BULLETIN: VOL. 85, NO. 1 



Table 1.— Geographical area and stock group of the 88 baseline populations used in estimating composition of mixed stock fisheries. 



'Populations joined by hyphens were not distinguishable based on significant differences of allelic frequencies, and were analyzed as single units. 

 ^Asterisks (') indicate stocks or stock groups excluded from final estimates based on preliminary estimates indicating a contribution of less than 30 fish 

 to total catch of all fisheries sampled (see text). 



Multiple loci for the same class of protein are num- 

 bered sequentially starting with the locus having the 

 most cathodal activity. Alleles are designated num- 

 erically as the percentage of the mobility of the 

 homomeric band of a protein encoded by a variant 

 allele relative to the mobility of the homomeric pro- 

 tein band encoded by the common allele (which is 

 designated 100). 



Estimates of allele frequencies were obtained for 

 17 polymorphic loci from each population sampled. 

 These loci, the conditions for their electrophoretic 

 detection, and the numbers and relative electro- 

 phoretic mobilities of their variant allelic forms are 

 outlined in Table 2. The allelic frequencies of these 

 collections for these loci will be presented in a com- 

 panion publication describing the genetic population
