Microsatellite screening in Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) and a preliminary examination of population structure based on observed DNA variation

Description:

Details the initial steps of a study examining the population structure of the eastern Pacific halibut stock. Methods discussed include optimization of a suite of dionucleotide microsatellites and application of those markers in a preliminary analysis of gene frequencies from three sites representing the edges of the geographic range of the stock.
