Scientific director of the project, Evgeny Esin, said that more than 90 percent of the genetic sequences were identified in the Kronotsky Lake coal, and it was determined that the mutations affected the development of cartilage tissue, metabolic response to hormonal signals and ionic conductivity. .
Daria Panicheva, head of the laboratory of anthropogenic dynamics of ecosystems at KamSU, noted that point mutations in genes that regulate the growth and specialization of cartilage tissue play a key role in the formation of specific head features in salmon.
