Chromosome number	Haploid/gametic (n) : 26			Ref.	Vasil'ev, V.P., 1980
	Diploid/zygotic (2n) : 52 - 52			Ref.	Gold, J.R., W.J. Karel and M.R. Strand, 1980
Chromosome Type				Ref.	Hartley, S.E. and M.T. Horne, 1984
Metacentric	48	Subtelocentric		MetaSubmetacentric
Submetacentric		Telocentric/Acrocentric	4	Subtelo-Acrocentric
Chromosome arm no.	100			Ref.	Gold, J.R., W.J. Karel and M.R. Strand, 1980
Sex determining mechanism				Ref.
DNA Content (haploid)	2.46			Ref.	Alfei, L., D. Cavallo, P. Eleuteri, M.G. Grollino, P.T. Colombari, A. Ferri, A. Onali and R. de Vita, 1996
Genetic markers	No			Ref.
Remarks	NF = 100, 104. 2n = 54, CF = 46m + 8a (Ref. 27416). Analysis of molecular variation showed weak but significantly regional structuring under two different population grouping schemes suggesting broad scale population aggregations of odd-year pink salmon which are temporally stable but with weak differentiation presumably due to migration (Ref. 30669).
