BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS: Sexual genotype markers absent from small numbers of male New Zealand Oncorhynchus tshawytscha

In New Zealand chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, sexual genotype did not correspond to phenotype in 1.6% of male fish, contrasting starkly with North American chinook populations, where inconsistencies between female genotype and phenotype have been observed at frequencies up to 84%.
