      <abstract>The Arctic region has experienced warming in recent years, resulting in decreased summer sea ice cover and increased sea surface temperatures.  In 2007, the U.S. BASIS survey extended surface trawling into the Chukchi Sea; juvenile chum salmon were collected at most stations.  Genetic methods were applied to identify the origin of the juvenile chum salmon collected in the Chukchi Sea and Bering Strait.  Most of the juvenile chum salmon caught in the Bering Strait were from northern Russian populations and the majority collected in the Chukchi Sea were from northwestern Alaska populations.</abstract>
      <purpose>This data set contains the unpublished SNP and microsatellite data used to identify chum salmon stocks captured in the Chukchi Sea and Bering Strait in 2007.</purpose>
