Estimation of Stock Composition and Individual Identification of Sockeye Salmon on a Pacific Rim Basis Using Microsatellite and Major Histocompatibility Complex Variation

TL;DR: The variation at 14 microsatellite loci and one major histocompatibility complex (MHC) locus was surveyed for over 48,000 sockeye salmon sampled from 299 localities ranging from the Columbia River to Japan, and estimates were above 80% for all sampling sites or populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stock Identification of Fraser River Sockeye Salmon Using Microsatellites and Major Histocompatibility Complex Variation

TL;DR: The power of a microsatellite locus for population-specific identification in simulated mixture samples was positively correlated with the number of observed alleles at the locus.
Journal ArticleDOI

The same strain of Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV-1) is involved in the development of different, but related, diseases in Atlantic and Pacific Salmon in British Columbia

TL;DR: Viral genome sequencing revealed no consistent differences in PRV-1 variants intimately involved in the development of both diseases suggesting that migratory chinook salmon may be at more than a minimal risk of disease from exposure to the high levels of PRV occurring in salmon farms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endangered wild salmon infected by newly discovered viruses

TL;DR: The discovery in dead and dying farmed salmon of previously unrecognised viruses that are also widely distributed in wild salmon, emphasizes the potential role that viral disease may play in the population dynamics of wild fish stocks, and the threat that these viruses may pose to aquaculture.
