Genetic Stock Identification (GSI) uses allozyme variation to determine the composition of mixed-stock fisheries. The GSI method was tested using real fishery data. We report, for the first time in the primary literature, results of tests of GSI in which source stock and ocean-caught mixture samples were separately obtained and the mixture composition was known exactly because the fish used were marked by Coded Wire Tags (CWTs). The accuracy of GSI and its dependence on the quality of genetic data were studied by computer experiments. Rare alleles, which could result from poor sampling procedures, can lead to significant estimation errors. Estimation accuracy depended on the concordance between stocks present in the baseline data and the mixture sample and on the number of loci used in the analysis. Two methods for computing the contributions of groups of source stocks were found to be comparable under most, but not all, conditions. In a blind test of GSI, stock group composition estimates had absolute errors of less than 3%. This suggests that the GSI method can produce accurate stock contribution estimates using real fishery data.

Allozyme variation was examined in sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) from 83 distinct spawning sites representing all major sockeye-producing river systems in Canada. Of 33 nonselected loci examined, only 14 were highly polymorphic (q > 0.05) and 10 were less polymorphic (0 < q ≤ 0.05). No two populations were fixed for different alleles at any locus, but allele frequencies ranged from 0.01 to 0.86 at PGM-1* and from 0.07 to 0.89 at ALAT*, the two most variable loci. Mean heterozygosity ranged from 2.3 to 5.6% (mean 4.1%) across all sites. Hierarchical analysis was used to partition relative gene diversity among river systems (6.3%), major drainages within a river system (2.9%), nursery lakes within drainages (7.0%), spawning sites within lakes (1.0%), and individuals within spawning sites (82.8%). Extensive differentiation among nursery lakes affords excellent opportunities for genetic stock identification within river systems, but the relatively weak regional structuring limits opportunities for coast-wide stock identification. Genetic variation at highly structured loci corroborates the view that modern populations in Canada originated from sockeye that survived the late Wisconsin Glaciation in the Bering and Columbia refuges, and also suggests the existence of coastal refuges in British Columbia.

Addressing biocomplexity in fisheries management is a challenge requiring an ability to differentiate among distinct populations contributing to fisheries. We produced extensive genetic baseline data involving 36 sampling locations and 33 microsatellite markers, which allowed characterization of the genetic structure and diversity in a large Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) population complex of the River Teno system, northernmost Europe. Altogether, we identified 28 hierarchically structured and genetically distinct population segments (global FST = 0.065) corresponding exceptionally well with their geographical locations. An assessment of factors affecting the stock identification accuracy indicated that the identification success is largely defined by the interaction of genetic divergence and the baseline sample sizes. The choice between the two statistical methods tested for performance in genetic stock identification, ONCOR and cBAYES, was not critical, albeit the latter demonstrated slightly higher identification accuracy and lower sensitivity to population composition of the mixture sample. The strong genetic structuring among populations together with a powerful marker system allowed for accurate stock identification of individuals and enabled assessment of stock compositions contributing to mixed-stock fisheries.
