| Keywords | Coho salmon = Oncorhynchus kisutch, genetic, population biology, s geographic distribution |
| Notes | Studied genotypic data from eight microsatellite loci to characterize Oregon coastal coho salmon. "The Coos, Umpqua, Smith and Coquille rivers appear to form a southern group, whereas the Nehalem, Tillamook, Wilson, Necanicum, Nestucca, Trask, and Salmon rivers form a loosely defined northern group." Notes that "Salmon River hatchery population was not established from native fish from the river on which it operates. Instead it was founded by Siletz River hatchery stock ... which was heavily supplemented with Trask River coho during the years 1968-1977..." (p.1278) The evidence suggests that Trask River hatchery stock has intermixed with the wild Salmon River coho population. |
