Genetic stock identification of chum salmon harvested incidentally
In some years, the Bering Sea trawl fishery incidentally harvests (bycatch) large numbers of chum salmon. Because chum salmon were declining in some western Alaska areas, the origins of the chum salmon bycatch were important. Tagging studies have shown that chum salmon originating in Asia and North...
