Abstract.—The variation at 14 microsatellite loci and one major histocompatibility complex (MHC) locus was surveyed for over 48,000 sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka sampled from 299 localities ranging from the Columbia River to Japan. For the microsatellite loci, the number of alleles observed at a...
