Title: Genetic Structure of PWS Pink Salmon 96196

Project Year and Number: 1996: 96196

Other Fiscal Years and Numbers for this Project: 1999: 99196-CLO, 1998: 98196, 1997: 97196

Principal Investigator (PI): Jim Seeb (Alaska Department of Fish & Game)

Managing Agency: ADFG

Assisting Personnel: Lisa Seeb

Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Research

Injured Resources Addressed: Pink Salmon

Abstract: Previous work found that wild-stock pink salmon suffered both direct lethal and sublethal injuries as a result of the oil spill. An understanding of the population structure of pink salmon in PWS is essential to assess the impact of these injuries on a population basis and to devise and implement management strategies for restoration. This project is designed to delineate the genetic structure of populations of wild pink salmon inhabiting PWS. (This project was formerly numbered 95320D).
