Influence of Environment and Landscape on Salmonid Genetics: 2010-2011 Annual Report
Abstract
Environmental and landscape features can greatly contribute to population structure, life history diversification, and adaptation of salmonids. This ongoing project combines two studies from the Fish & Wildlife Program Accords with the following objectives: 1) Environment & Landscape Genetics – Evaluate genetic structure of natural populations of salmonids relative to their environment and identify candidate markers associated with traits that are related to adaptation of steelhead and Chinook Salmon populations; and 2) Controlled Experiments – laboratory/hatchery experiments with controlled environmental variables to validate phenotypic response of fish with given genotypes.
