- Abstract
Only one genetic sample was available for this study from a right whale from the Sea of Japan, and that whale exhibited haplotype 2, which was the second most common haplotype occurring in both western and eastern populations. The level of diversity in North Pacific right whales was, in general, intermediate between western North Atlantic and Southern Hemisphere populations, which was more evident for the case of nucleotide diversity (Table 4). 3 TABLEVariable sites defining 16 mtDNA haplotypes in North Pacific right whales. Small black filled circles indicate intermediate haplotypes not found in this study. gl Only four haplotypes were shared between WNP and ENP right whales (Table 3). North Pacific right whales ( I Eubalaena japonica i ) occur during the summer in waters from the Okhotsk Sea, Kuril Islands, off southern and southeastern Kamchatka Peninsula, the southeastern Bering Sea, the northern Gulf of Alaska, and the Pacific coast of northern Honshu (Figure 1).
