To clarify the spatial distribution of masu salmonOncorhynchus masouwith incongruent genotypic and phenotypic sex, we compared the phenotypic sex determined by gonad analysis with the genotypic sex identified by a male-specific genetic marker, Growth hormone pseudogene (GHp), in 584 individuals inhabiting 23 rivers in Hokkaido, Japan. We found that the genotypic sex is different from the phenotypic sex for 39 individuals in 10 rivers. Among them, 35 individuals (89.7 %) were GHp + females phenotypically. The opposite feature was noted in the remaining four individuals (10.3 %). This study also revealed that GHp + phenotypic females are distributed mainly in the Sea of Japan, whereas GHp- phenotypic male tend to appear in the Sea of Okhotsk. In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between the distance from the Bishabetsu River, where frequency of GHp + phenotypic females was the highest, and the frequency of those individuals in each river. These results suggest that the distribution of masu salmon with incongruent genotypic and phenotypic sex would be related to the movement of individuals among the populations and regions.
