Title: Genetic Structure of PWS Pink Salmon 97196

Project Year and Number: 1997: 97196

Other Fiscal Years and Numbers for this Project: 1999: 99196-CLO, 1998: 98196, 1996: 96196

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

Managing Agency: ADFG

Assisting Personnel: None

Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Research

Injured Resources Addressed: Pink Salmon

Abstract: Wild-stock pink salmon suffered direct lethal and sublethal injuries as a result of the oil spill. An understanding of the population structure of pink salmon in Prince William Sound 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 the Sound.
