HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Microsatellite Genotypes

Metadata Updated: March 16, 2024

Currently ~2,400 Hawaiian monk seal specimens have been analyzed genetically, providing genotypes at 18 microsatellite loci. These data are organized by individual, identified by the Seal ID number. An additional dataset is being generated that will expand these genotypes by another 30 loci.

Access Constraints Cite As: Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, [Date of Access]: HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Microsatellite Genotypes [Data Date Range], https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/11545., Access Constraints: NMFS/PIFSC, Protected Species Division, Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program Data Access, Sharing, and Dissemination Guidelines, Use Constraints: Use of the data set will ideally be cleared with NMFS/PIFSC, Protected Species Division. These data are PRELIMINARY and have not be completely screened for accuracy. NOAA can not be held liable for use of these data in a manner other than for perusal of preliminary data. The developers of these data are concerned with assuring its proper use. Before data are used to draw specific scientific conclusions, potential users are requested to contact NMFS/PIFSC, Protected Species Division for background on the data. Acknowledgement of the data should be cited. Different versions of the dataset may exist. The user must be sure to use the appropriate data set for the time period of interest. While efforts have been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable, NOAA cannot assume liablility for any damages or misrepresentation caused by any inaccuracies in the data or as a result of changes to the data caused by system transfers.
