TIRANA, Feb 3 – The mtDNA control region collected 87 individuals from 19 riverine and lacustrine sites in Albania, Macedonia and Greece to analyze for sequence variation in order to determine the genetic architecture of trout in Albania.
Among fourteen haplotypes detected, four previously unpublished haplotypes, bearing a close relationship to haplotypes of the Adriatic and marmoratus lineages of Salmo trutta, were revealed.
Ten previously described haplotypes, characteristic of S.ohridanus, S. letnica and the Adriatic and Mediterranean lineages of S.trutta, were also detected.
Haplotypes of the Balkan cluster and the other Adriatic haplotypes, do not represent a contiguous haplotype lineage and appear not to be closely related, indicating independent arrivals into the Adriatic drainage and suggesting successive colonization events.
