Mixed-stock analysis of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Cabot Strait approaches to the Gulf of St. Lawrence : a microsatellite DNA application / by Daniel E. Ruzzante … [et al.].: Fs70-1/1999-55E-PDF
The genetic composition of >2300 cod collected during 1994-1997 in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and its approaches are examined to determine if: 1) stock components can be genetically identified; 2) population structure is temporally stable; 3) components are always separated, and if not, where and when they are mixed; and 4) if component contributions to mixtures can be estimated. Polymorphism at 6 microsatellite DNA loci from cod collected on or near their spring and summer spawning grounds are used to examine structure and then maximum likelihood analyses are employed to estimate contributions of each component to mixtures overwintering near the entrance to the Gulf.
