AFSC/ABL: Juvenile chum salmon allozyme stock identification, Gulf of Alaska 2000-2004

Published by Alaska Fisheries Science Center | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2026 at 11:51 PM | Dataset Last Updated: December 01, 2003 at 12:00 AM
Summer surveys (Julyb??August) of juvenile salmon ecology along the continental shelf of the Gulf of Alaska are conducted annually by scientists from the Ocean Carrying Capacity program of the National Marine Fisheries Serviceb??s Auke Bay Laboratory. These surveys are an effort to link changes in salmon production to biological and physical factors in the ocean environment. An improved understanding of salmon distribution is one objective of this research. We identified the origin of juvenile chum salmon collected in transects from around the Gulf of Alaska in 2000 and 2001, using the presence of thermal marks in hatchery fish and the divergence of genetic characteristics among regional groups of populations.
