| Summary | Blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis) were collected from three streams within the Chowan River complex. The larval stages from 14-22 mm. were examined electrophoretically. Muscle tissue extracts were separated via electrophoretic techniques and the electromorphs examined. A geographic spatial distribution appeared to be statistically evident, as distances increased so did electrophoretic dissimilarity increase. The biochemical data in conjunction with the natal stream tendency of the blueback herring lend credence to the isolation concept in subpopulation definition. |
