Genetic Analysis of Pacific Salmonids in the Northeast Pacific and the Russian Far East

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC, Seattle) | Format: URL

wfrc.usgs.gov — This U.S./Russian collaboration will investigate genetics and life histories of Kamchatka Peninsula rainbow trout and steelhead (O. mykiss), and Dolly Varden, white-spotted, and arctic char (S. malma, S. leucomaensis, and S. alpinus, respectively). Both anadromous and resident forms of these generally occur in Kamchatka rivers that are free from More...

Role of Demographic, Genetic, and Environmental Factors Influencing the Spread of Hybridization Between Native Westslope Cutthroat and Non-Native Rainbow Trout

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NRMSC, Bozeman) | Format: URL

nrmsc.usgs.gov — This research project examines dispersal and several components of fitness between hybrids and non-hybridized fish. Further, scientists will examine the relationship between environmental factors and genetic and demographic characteristics of hybrid populations. The specific objectives are: (1) to compare the spawning dynamics and dispersal More...

Genetic Analysis of Salmonids and Other Fishes in the Western US

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC, Seattle) | Format: URL

wfrc.usgs.gov — As salmonid populations continue to decline in the western US, it is imperative to develop a better understanding of ecological, genetic, and biological aspects of these species. Within the broad context of the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Program the 5-year research goals address: development of non-lethal genetic procedures for identification More...
