Genetic bottleneck effects can reduce genetic variation, persistence probability, and evolutionary potential of populations. Previous microsatellite analysis suggested a bottleneck associated with a common founding of sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka populations of Lake Clark, Alaska, about 100 to...
