Study on mt-DNA (mitochondrial DNA) variation in the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) using RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphisms) has provided the evidence of maternal inheritance of yellowfin tuna in captivity. Eggs were collected in every spawning in 2004-2006 season. The mt-DNA genotypes of broodstock were compared with their eggs and the maternal inheritance of these females was determined from genotypes in the eggs. The result showed that six genotypes of female broodstock were observed in eggs and four of them were found to share a single female's identity and one type was shared by two females. The same genotype was observed in almost every sampling throughout the year. The female broodstocks spawned almost daily throughout the season.展开更多
