Emerging diseases are impacting animals under high‐density culture, yet few studies
assess their importance to wild populations. Microparasites selected for enhanced virulence …

The increasing feasibility of assembling large genomic datasets for non-model species
presents both opportunities and challenges for applied conservation and management. A …

An essential prerequisite of a sustainable fisheries management is the matching of
biologically relevant processes and management action. In fisheries management and …

Recovery plans for endangered southern resident killer whales Orcinus orca have identified
reduced prey availability as a risk to the population. In order to better assess this risk, we …

Estimating the accuracy of genetic stock identification (GSI) that can be expected given a
previously collected baseline requires simulation. The conventional method involves …

Genetic stock identification (GSI) estimates stock proportions and individual assignments
through comparison of genetic markers with reference populations. It is used widely in …

The coded wire tag (CWT) database contains detailed information on millions of Pacific
salmon Oncorhynchus spp. released from hatcheries or smolt traps and recovered in the …

Global expansion of aquaculture and agriculture facilitates disease emergence and
catalyzes transmission to sympatric wildlife populations. The health of wild salmon stocks …

The survival of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), an increasingly rare anadromous species, has
declined dramatically during its marine phase, with disproportionate impacts on the poorly …

Genetic stock identification (GSI) is an important tool in fisheries management.
Microsatellites (μSATs) have been the dominant genetic marker for GSI; however, increasing …
