2007 DNA Collection Report
In 2003 the Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) initiated a project to collect genetic (tissue) samples for DNA analysis from chum and pink salmon in selected streams throughout the Gitxsan territories. Chum DNA collection continued in 2004 where the... -
Skeena Sockeye Sub-Stock Run-Timing and Abundance Evaluated Using Tyee Fisher...
This memo provides estimates of Skeena sockeye sub-stock timing and abundance entering Area 3⁄4 estimated using genetic (mDNA) samples collected from the Skeena River Tyee Test Fishery from 2000-2010. The genetic samples represent proportionate daily catch... -
Population Structure of Lake-Type and River-Type Sockeye Salmon in Transbound...
The objective of the present study was to evaluate microsatellite genetic differentiation between lake-type and riverine populations within the same river drainage, among riverine populations in the same drainage, and among riverine populations in different... -
Microsatellite Diversity Assessment of Steelhead Population Structure Before ...
Allelic variation at 10 microsatellite loci was assayed in steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) scale samples (n=333) collected in various years 1976-2003, from the lower mainstem Kitimat River, British Columbia. The objective was to investigate the... -
Estimation of Stock Composition and Individual Identification of Sockeye Salm...
In the current study, we evaluate the utility of using the variation at 14 microsatellite loci and one MHC locus for lake-specific identification of sockeye salmon over its natural range. This evaluation is conducted by examining the accuracy and precision... -
Application of Microsatellite DNA Variation to Estimation of Stock Compositio...
Microsatellite loci can be used to estimate spawning escapements of individual Pacific salmon populations returning to remote spawning locations throughout large river systems by analysis of appropriately weighted samples from test fisheries near the river... -
DNA-Level Variation of Sockeye Salmon in Southeast Alaska and the Nass and Sk...
The objectives of the present study were to analyze the variation at 14 microsatellite loci and 1 MHC locus in Nass River, Skeena River, and Southeast Alaska sockeye salmon populations so as to evaluate the suite of loci for application to stock...
