    Evaluation of Population Characteristic Differences between the Largemouth Bass and Its Backcross Following a Long-Term Florida Bass Stocking Effort

    Management agencies throughout the southern United States widely stock Florida Bass (FLB) Micropterus floridanus into extant Largemouth Bass (LMB) M. salmoides populations, with the intent of increasing the trophy potential of those water bodies. These stockings commonly lead to a shift in the systemwide genetic composition toward a population dominated by hybrids, which are predominantly LMB with low levels of FLB alleles (FX-LMB). Despite the increasing prevalence…Read more with open access

    Diversity in Freshwater Life History in Spring and Summer Chinook Salmon from the Fraser River, Canada

    We describe juvenile migration tactics for spring/summer-run populations of Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha that spawn in tributaries of the Fraser River, Canada. We trapped juveniles migrating from tributaries, and sampled juvenile Chinook salmon rearing in the Fraser River. In four tributaries, we found two dominant life history types within each population: a natal-stream-rearing variant in which juveniles spend a year in their natal stream before migrating….Read more with open access

    River-of-origin assignment of migratory Striped Bass, with implications for mixed-stock analysis

    The Striped Bass Morone saxatilis is an anadromous teleost with a native range extending north from the Gulf of Mexico into Canadian waters. Far-ranging coastal migrations support one of the most popular recreational fisheries in the United States. Identifying the underlying population genetic structure of the spawning populations and the genetic markers capable of differentiating among them advances our understanding of these economically and ecologically important fish and enables more targeted management to occur….Read more with open access
