Use of Biochemical Genetic Variants for Identification of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) Stocks in Cook Inlet, Alaska
TLDR
The geographic distributions of biochemical genetic variants in sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) are used to describe features of its population structure and to identify stocks in commercial catches from the central fishing district of Cook Inlet, Alaska.Abstract:

A comparison of genetic diversity levels in marine, freshwater, and anadromous fishes
TL;DR: Electrophoretic data were analysed from 49 species of freshwater fish, 57 species of marine fish, and seven anadromous species to show reduced values of Hs in freshwater species are likely to reflect reduced effective subpopulation sizes relative to marine species.

Assignment methods: matching biological questions with appropriate techniques
TL;DR: How to match the appropriate methods with the underlying biological questions for several common problems in ecology and conservation are discussed and several topics for future research are identified that should ensure that this field remains dynamic and productive.

Population genetics and phylogeography of sea turtles.
Brian W. Bowen,Stephen A. Karl +1 more
TL;DR: The biogeographic, behavioural, and ecological factors that shape the distribution of genetic diversity in sea turtles are reviewed, including natal homing, maternally inherited markers show strong population structure among nesting colonies while nuclear loci reveal a contrasting pattern of male‐mediated gene flow.

Genetic interactions Between Hatchery and Wild Salmonids: Lessons from the Pacific Northwest
TL;DR: The potential for genetic interactions between hatchery and wild populations of salmonids in northwestern North America has increased considerably in recent decades, and efforts to mitigate severe losses to many wild stocks caused by overfishing, destruction of habitat, and blockage of migratory routes have focussed on boosting artificial production in public hatcheries.

Integrating genetic data into management of marine resources: how can we do it better?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify some of the organizational, conceptual and technical barriers that have hampered full use of genetics data in stock assessment and hence fishery management and outline how such use could be enhanced.

TL;DR: Most of the methods outlined here have been used primarily for tissue extracts from mammalian species, and a few have been developed only on plants or lower animals, but this is not to say that they will not work on higher organisms.

Amine-Citrate Buffers for pH Control in Starch Gel Electrophoresis
J. W. Clayton,D. N. Tretiak +1 more
TL;DR: Amine-citrate buffer systems for pH control in starch gel electrophoresis gave good resolution of some dehydrogenase isozymes as discussed by the authors, with pK's at 0.5 unit intervals in the pH range 6.1-8.1.
