The existence of homol- ogous variation of chromosome number in different phyletic lines of this suborder is substantiated. It is sug- gested that the origin of homologous series is related to major genome rearrangements (simultaneous fusion of several chromosomes).

Earlier, we scrutinized the possible mechanisms for the formation of karyotypes with a chromosome num- ber near 60 exemplified by the Atlantic salmon and salmon species belonging to the genus Parasalmo [31]. Note that the species with such karyotypes are charac- terized by a higher chromosomal variability than related species with a chromosome number near 80. Apparently, this is related to the fact that karyotypes with a chromosome number near 60 formed relatively recently and the “balancing” of their chromosome set has not yet been completed. For example, the embryos of the broad whitefish C. nasus, compared to other Coregonidae, are charac- terized by a very high frequency of such chromosomal 2n 100 90 80 70 60
