Stock Identification of Chum Salmon Overwintering in the Gulf of Alaska by Using a New SNP Baseline

Abstract Excerpt:
The Gulf of Alaska is an important winter habitat for chum salmon originating from both the continents of North America and Asia (Urawa et al. 1997, 2016; Beacham et al. 2009). There is, however, limited knowledge of their stock-specific distribution, abundance, and survival in winter.
