Resumen

JARA-SEGUEL, Pedro et al. Nuclear DNA content in the red conger eel Genypterus chilensis (Guichenot, 1881) (Actinopterygii: Ophidiidae). Gayana (Concepc.) [online]. 2011, vol.75, n.2, pp. 198-200. ISSN 0717-6538.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-65382011000200010.

Studies about nuclear DNA content in the genus Genypterus are scarce, and the present study gives the first estimate of nuclear DNA content of Genypterus chilensis, with a value of 2C= 1.0 + 0.06 pg, value close to that obtained for other Ophidiidae species wich range between 1.2 and 1.68 pg.
