An investigation to determine the extent of introgression between Biwa salmon Oncorhynchus masou subsp. and lake-run Amago salmon O. m. ishikawae from Lake Biwa was conducted using mtDNA sequence and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. Hatchery-reared Amago salmon from the Samegai Trout Farm, the main source of stock released into the inflowing rivers of Lake Biwa, were also investigated. The extent of mtDNA introgression between these two subspecies was quite low: an anomalous haplotype was detected in just 1 of 55 Biwa salmon and 2 of 63 lake-run Amago salmon. Many of the mtDNA haplotypes found in lake-run Amago salmon were common to those in hatchery-reared Amago salmon. In the AFLP analysis, the nuclear genome of Amago salmon was hardly detected in Biwa salmon, but the Biwa salmon genome comprised 13.4% of the total amplified fragments from lake-run Amago salmon, being detected in different proportions in 28 of the 63 investigated individuals of the latter subspecies. These results suggest that introgression has occurred between Biwa salmon and lake-run Amago salmon descending from hatchery-reared Amago salmon from the Samegai Trout Farm.
