Genetic stock composition analysis of chum salmon from the prohibited species catch of the 2018 Bering Sea walleye pollock trawl fishery and Gulf of Alaska groundfish fisheries

Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) that are caught in Alaska’s federally managed groundfish trawl fisheries are designated as prohibited species catch (PSC). We analyzed genetic stock compositions of chum salmon PSC samples collected from the 2018 walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) fishery in the Bering Sea and from the federal groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). 2021 chum salmon, genetics, trawl, prohibited species, groundfish NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) AFSC (Alaska Fisheries Science Center) Submitted https://doi.org/10.25923/x0dm-0m02 Public Domain 1861
