| Summary: | Study History: The molecular genetics component of Restoration Project 9719119, the study of persistent mortality of pink salmon embryos, was initiated in 1992 as Restoration Study 60C. Project 60C and the 9x191 series of projects were corollary to studies originating in March 1989 and continuing through February 1991 as FisWShellfish Study Number 2. That project consisted of embryo sampling in the fall and pre-emergent fry sampling in the spring at oil-contaminated streams and non-contaminated reference streams to determine if the Exxon Valdez oil spill affected pink salmon incubating in the oiled gravel. In 1992 the field sampling was expanded to include (1) laboratory evaluation of field results through the controlled incubation of pink salmon embryos on oiled substrate (NOAA); (2) an experiment designed to determine if the results observed in the field were due to environmental factors (ADF&G); and (3) a search for evidence of genetic damage (ADF&G). This work continued as Restoration Project 93003 and as the Restoration Project 9x191 series. Final reports were completed for Fish/Shellfish Study 2 |
