Abstract Genetic stock identification (GSI) is widely applied to mixed‐stock fisheries for many commercially exploited species. However, the accuracy of GSI depends on the level of differentiation among stocks. To evaluate our ability to estimate contributions in mixed‐stock fisheries of Pink Salmon...
