First Time

The red algal order Gelidiales is represented in the benthic marine algal flora of British Columbia, northern Washington, and southeast Alaska by two genera, Gelidium Lamouroux and Pterocladia J. Agardh. Three species of Gelidium are present, G. coulteri Harvey, G. purpurascens Gardner, and G. vagum Okamura, and one species of Pterocladia, P. caloglossoides (Howe) Dawson. For each species we provide a description of its habit and life history, vegetative and reproductive morphology, and habitat and seasonality. Distributions and representative specimens examined are given. Keys are provided to genera and species where appropriate. Habits, and salient vegetative and reproductive features useful in identifying each species, are illustrated. Gelidium vagum is reported for the first time in the northeast Pacific and appears to have been introduced to the flora from Japan in recent historical time. Its distribution is limited to two islands in the Strait of Georgia. Gelidium purpurascens and Pterocladia caloglossoides are distributed throughout British Columbia and northern Washington, and their ranges are extended north to southeast Alaska. Earlier reports of G. amansii (Lamouroux) Lamouroux, G. crinale (Turner) Lamouroux, G. pusillum (Stackhouse) Le Jolis, G. robustum (Gardner) Hollenberg et Abbott, and G. sinicola Gardner from British Columbia and northern Washington are shown to have been based upon misidentifications of other taxa, and these species are excluded from the flora.

Plocamium Cartilagineum

This is a floristic treatment of the gigartinalean families Caulacanthaceae and Plocamiaceae that occur in southeast Alaska, British Columbia, and northern Washington. Caulacanthaceae is represented by one genus, Caulacanthus Kützing, and one species, the type, C. ustulatus (Mertens ex Turner) Kützing, whereas Plocamiaceae is represented by two genera, Plocamiocolax Setchell, including the type species, P. pulvinata Setchell, and Plocamium Lamouroux, including three species, P. cartilagineum (L.) Dixon, P. oregonum Doty, and P. violaceum Farlow. For each species, we provide a description of its habit and life history, vegetative and reproductive morphology, habitat and seasonality, and list its global and local distributions and the representative specimens examined. Keys are provided to genera and species where appropriate. The habit and salient vegetative and reproductive features that can be used to distinguish the taxon in the local flora are illustrated. Emended diagnoses are provided for the family Caulacanthaceae, for the genus Plocamiocolax, and for the species Plocamiocolax pulvinata and Plocamium oregonum. Reasons are given for not recognizing the northeast Pacific specimens of Plocamium cartilagineum as a distinct subspecies. Plocamium tenue Kylin is considered a synonym of P. violaceum. A neotype is designated for Plocamiocolax pulvinata. Lectotypes are designated for P. pacificum Kylin and for P. tenue Kylin.

Marine Algal

The benthic marine algal order Gigartinales (Rhodophyta) is introduced, and a key to the families found between Cross Sound, Alaska, and northern Washington is provided. The family Dumontiaceae is monographed. Ten of 16 currently recognized genera and 14 of some 48 recognized species are described and illustrated: Constantinea rosa-marina (Gmelin) Postels et Ruprecht, C. simplex Setchell, C. subulifera Setchell, Cryptosiphonia woodii (J. G. Agardh) J. G. Agardh, Dilsea California (J. G. Agardh) Kuntze, Dumontia contorta (Gmelin) Ruprecht, D. simplex Cotton, Farlowia mollis (Harvey et Bailey) Farlow et Setchell in Collins, Holden, et Setchell, Neodilsea borealis (Abbott) Lindstrom, N. natashae Lindstrom, Orculifilum denticulatum Lindstrom, Pikea californica Harvey, Thuretellopsis peggiana Kylin, and Weeksia coccinea (Harvey) Lindstrom. Farlowia compressa J. G. Agardh is recognized as a taxonomic synonym of F. mollis, and Pikea robusta Abbott as a taxonomic synonym of Pikea californica. Vegetative keys to the genera and species of the family are also included. Basionyms, synonyms, type specimens, type localities, and what is known about life histories, distributions, phenologies, and habitats of the species are given. Representative specimens are cited.

Allozymes from 46 loci were analyzed from chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) collected at 61 locations in southeast Alaska and northern British Columbia. Of the 42 variable loci, 21 had a common allele frequency <0.95. We observed significant heterogeneity within and among six regional groups: central southeast Alaska, Prince of Wales Island area, southern southeast Alaska – northern British Columbia, north-central British Columbia, and two groups in the Queen Charlotte Islands. Genetic variation among regions was significantly greater than within regions. The three island groups were distinct from each other and from the mainland populations. Allele frequencies were stable over time in 14 of 15 locations sampled for more than 1 yr. The geographic basis for heterogeneity among regions is confounded in part by spawning-time differences. The Prince of Wales and Queen Charlotte populations spawn in the fall; the mainland populations spawn mainly in the summer, although some overlap exists. Overall, most genetic diversity (97%) occurred within sampling locations; the remaining diversity was distributed almost equally within and among regions. Our genetic data may provide fishery managers a means to estimate stock composition in the mixed-stock fisheries near this boundary between the United States and Canada.
