Population structure, genetic diversity, and dispersal of anadromous Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) in Frobisher Bay, Nunavut, inferred from microsatellite markers / by Jean-Sébastien Moore ... [et...: Fs97-4/3046E-PDF

The genetic population structure of anadromous Arctic char from two river systems flowing into Frobisher Bay, Nunavut (the Sylvia Grinnell River and the Bay of Two Rivers) was investigated. A total of 495 individuals were genotyped at twelve microsatellite markers. Overall, our results support the presence of weak population structure among rivers in the Frobisher Bay region and suggest that the use of molecular tools to inform fishery management in this region may be helpful if appropriate sampling designs are implemented.
