Notes"Phenotypic similarities of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) stocks from Oregon, Washington, and California were compared using agglomerative and divisive cluster analyses. The phenotypic characters evaluated included the following: 1) the isozyme gene frequencies of transferrin and phosphoglucose isomerase; 2) the life history characters time of peak spawning and proportion of females in the population; and 3) the morphological characters scales in the lateral series, scales above the lateral line, anal rays, gill rakers, branchiostegal rays and vertebrae."
