    • AFSC/FMA/Salmon Genetics From Observer Specimens

    Metadata Updated: October 2, 2025

    Genetic data of salmon bycatch samples collected by fisheries observers are used for mixed-stock analyses to determine geographic region of origin. This work is done at the Auk Bay Lab in Juneau Alaska. The data are loaded to the the North Pacific Halibut and Groundfish database maintained by FMA Division at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Seattle Washington
