A nucleotide sequence analysis of a fragment of a Morone MHC class Ia gene detected high levels of polymorphism in striped bass Morone saxatilis , white perch Morone americana and yellow bass Morone mississippiensis . Extremely low levels of MHC diversity, however, were detected in white bass Morone chrysops , suggesting the possibility of a severe population bottleneck for this species.
