Wilmot. 2002. Origin of Juvenile Chum Salmon From Gulf of Alaska Coastal Waters, 2001. Alaska Fisheries Science Center Quarterly Report. 9 pg. http://www.npafc.org/new/pub_technical5.html Summer surveys (July–August) of juvenile salmon ecology along the continental shelf of the Gulf of Alaska are conducted annually by scientists from the Ocean Carrying Capacity program of the National Marine Fisheries Service’s Auke Bay Laboratory. These surveys are an effort to link changes in salmon production to biological and physical factors in the ocean environment. An improved understanding of salmon distribution is one objective of this research. We identified the origin of juvenile chum salmon collected in transects from around the Gulf of Alaska in 2000 and 2001, using the presence of thermal marks in hatchery fish and the divergence of genetic characteristics among regional groups of populations. This data set contains the allozyme data used to identify chum salmon stocks captured in the Gulf of Alaska in 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2004. 2000 2001 2003 2004 ground condition In work Unknown Alaska, Gulf of Alaska -157.4515 -137.196167 60.040667 54.29 ISO 19115 Topic Categories Biota 002 None migration stock identification genetic variation thermal marks ITIS Chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta Geographic Names Information System Alaska Gulf of Alaska None collection single species vertebrates Empire Biovitae Carbon-based lifeforms Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Subphylum Vertebrata Superclass Osteichthyes Class Actinopterygii Subclass Neopterygii Infraclass Teleostei Superorder Protacanthopterygii Order Salmoniformes Family Salmonidae Subfamily Salmoninae Genus Oncorhynchus Species keta chum salmon The data set is still being analyzed and will not be available for distribution until it has been finalized and all QA/QC practices have been performed.
