Fig. 6. Scatter plots showing the correlation between the gonadosomatic index (GSI)
and the pituitary contents of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and
luteinizing hormone (LH) in pre-migratory male and female chum salmon in the
central Bering Sea, 2002-2003. Clade A is made up of Japanese populations and
clade B is a mixture of Russian, North American and Japanese populations. The
maturing adults with increased FSH and LH were observed in both clades.
