Yukon River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) stocks were assayed for diversity at 34 microsatellite loci to examine stock structure and evaluate mixed-stock analysis (MSA) potential. Laboratories from three agencies, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, collaborated in the survey of microsatellite diversity. Each laboratory surveyed a subset of the microsatellite loci. Allele frequencies were subsequently pooled to form a single, joint baseline. Yukon River Chinook salmon stocks are geographically structured, with moderate divergence (FST = 0.044) within and among geographic regions. Using the 10 most powerful loci, accuracy...
