A repetitive element was isolated from the genome of Atlantic salmon. Nueleotide sequence analysis revealed the existence of variant monomers that range in length from appromixately 200 bp. Repeat monomers contain regions of cryptic simplicity, internal repetition, and long direct repeats with deletions and insertions between individual units. The repetitive element was shown to have a tandem unit arrangement and was estimated to occupy between two and three percent of the Atlantic salmon genome. Southern blot analysis revealed the repetitive element to be unique to Atlantic salmon and brown trout species. In situ hybridization analysis showed this element to be localized at the main nucleolar organizer region bearing chromosomes of Atlantic salmon (S. salar). As cell line (derived from S. salar) and brown (S. trutta)
