Researchers now know many of the genomic regions that allowed an ocean-dwelling fish to adapt to fresh water in several independently evolved populations. The discovery involved threespine stickleback fish taken from three land-locked freshwater Alaskan lakes and two ocean populations. They found that all of the fish were closely related in most of their genomes, but with differences in very specific regions.
