A Robertsonian polymorphism resulting in diploid chromosome number ranging from 59 to 61 and constant chromosome arm number (fundamental number = 104) was observed in the albino rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)) from the yellow color strain. In one individual, 90 mitotic chromosomes and 156 chromosome arms were counted, indicating the fish as a triploid. Morphology of the chromosomes, DAPI staining, and the cytogenetic location of 5S rDNA sequences showed sex-related chromosomal heteromorphism in the specimens. Additionally, length polymorphism of the X chromosome was detected in the studied individuals and two morphs of the X chromosome were described, XL and XS, according to the size of its short arm (p). The XS was observed in the female as well as male albino rainbow trout; however, among females, no XSXS genotype was found. After primed in situ labeling with 5S rDNA primers, the p-arms of both types of the X chromosome showed similar hybridization signals. On the other hand, fluorescence in situ hybridization with telomeric PNA (peptide nucleic acid) probe exhibited weak hybridization spots on the p-arm of the XS chromosome compared with the distinct hybridization spots observed on the XL p-arm. This could reflect a different telomere length on the p-arm of the XS and XL chromosomes. Partial translocation and deletion of the X chromosome p-arm are considered to be responsible for the p-arm length difference between the two morphological variants of X chromosome.
