Application of ‘Omics’ Technologies in the Salmonid Enhancement Program

This document first provides a summary of the relevant regulatory components of the Salmonid Enhancement Program (SEP) management framework. After a summary of each regulatory component in the SEP management framework is an overview of the broad genomics approach that may be relevant to that management structure. Details on the genomics approach are included at the end of the document with information on the types of questions that can be addressed, considerations that must be made when sampling and storing tissues, and comments on the level of readiness of each technique for implementation.
