This analysis showed that the Pan I AA homozygotes could be assigned to a“ coastal” type that appeared to follow seasonal trend in temperature, foraging in relatively shallow waters. On the other hand, most Pan I BB homozygotes were assigned to“ frontal” type that is characterized by migrating to colder and deeper waters during feeding migration.
Þannig var sýnt fram á að Pan I AA arfgerð einkennir grunnfarsþorsk, sem heldur sig á grunninu allt árið um kring en Pan I BB arfgerð virðist einkenna djúpfarsþorsk sem leitar í dýpri sjó og í hitaskil til fæðuöflunar.
