Contemporary Gene Flow

Studying population structure and gene flow patterns on temporal scales facilitates an evaluation of the consequences of demographic, physical, and environmental changes on the stability and persistence of populations. Here, we examine temporal genetic variation within and among Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) rivers in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, using samples collected over a period of six decades (1951–2004). Our objective was to evaluate temporal changes in population connectivity associated with the closure of a commercial marine fishery. Despite demographic instability, we find that population structure remained temporally stable over more than 50 years. However, age structure can affect results when not taken into consideration, particularly in populations of large effective size where genetic drift is not strong. Where weak signals of genetic differentiation did not complicate analyses, contemporary migration was often asymmetric, yet low, suggesting patterns of intermittent gene flow. Nevertheless, we find some links between changes in population dynamics and contemporary gene flow. These findings may therefore imply that management decisions impacting the contemporary population dynamics of individual Atlantic salmon rivers can also affect the genetic stability of this species as a whole.

Abstract The paper presents the data, the models, and the approach for the provision of management advice for a high seas mixed stock fishery on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). The approach incorporates observation errors, model uncertainty, and considers a possible shift in the productivity of Atlantic salmon. The risk analysis framework further incorporates uncertainty in the fishery harvest characteristics and presents the catch advice as probabilities of meeting or exceeding the conservation objectives relative to catch options. There is very strong evidence from the analyses that there has been a phase shift in productivity of Atlantic salmon of North American origin in the Northwest Atlantic. The change in productivity likely resulted from a change in marine survival which occurred in the early 1990s and has persisted to date. When the uncertainties in the input data are considered, the most parsimonious models suggest that there has been a shift in absolute abundance independent of variations in the spawner index contributing to the recruitment. There continues to be a large amount of uncertainty in the measures of abundance and population dynamics of Atlantic salmon. Uncertainty in the understanding of population dynamics does not necessarily equate to uncertainty in management advice. If model results suggest that spawning objectives are unattainable even when harvest rates are zero, then any harvest level will either accelerate the rate of decline if the model prediction is correct or diminish the probability of recovery if the model prediction is wrong.
