Fine-Scaled Population Genetic Structure and Dispersal of Juvenile Steelhead in the Bulkley-Morice River, British Columbia

This study used microsatellite markers to characterize fine-scale population structures among populations of juvenile steelhead from tributaries of the Bulkley-Morice River. It applied genotype assignment procedures, similar to those used in genetic stock identification, to assess the influence of mixing fine-scale genetic structures in steelhead among tributaries and to examine patterns of juvenile movement in the main stem of the river.
