  1. Parental Genotyping to Evaluate Family Correlated Survival and Genetic Based Tagging Of a Small Hatchery Population Andy Gray, Research Geneticist TSMRI, Juneau, AK Presented to 23rd Annual Alaska Salmon Hatchery Managers Meeting

  2. Project Investigators • Principles: • Andy Gray, Research Geneticist, ABL, Juneau, AK • John E. Joyce, Fishery Research Biologist, ABL, Juneau, AK • Frank Thrower, Fishery Research Biologist, ABL, Juneau, AK • Adrian Celewycz, Fishery Research Biologist, ABL, Juneau, AK • Chuck Guthrie, Fishery Research Biologist, ABL, Juneau, AK • Collaborators: • Anthony J Gharrett, Professor, UAF, AK • Alex Wertheimer, Fishery Research Biologist, ABL, Juneau, AK • Ron Josephson, Fisheries Biologist, ADF&G, Juneau, AK • Bill Templin, Fisheries Geneticist, ADF&G, Anchorage, AK

  3. Parentage Based Tagging (PBT)Genetic tagging provides population and cohort information and does not require genetic differences between populations • Genotyping hatchery broodstock, you can create a data base of possible parent pairs and match recovered offspring genotypes against that, assigning offspring to parent pairs (and hence hatchery and cohort) • By genotyping two parents, you can effectively tag all their 1,000’s of offspring • Also provides scientifically interesting pedigree information

  4. Project Objectives • Evaluate the ability of microsatellites and SNPs to uniquely genotype all parents of a small brood of hatchery Chinook salmon. • Empirically test PBT methods in mixed stock fisheries using Coded Wire Tags as controls. • Examine the effect of family correlated survival on the performance of PBT method. • Define the impact family correlated survival has on effective population size in a closed broodstock hatchery.

  5. Approach Phase I 2007-2009 • Spawn adult Unuk and Release 2000 CWT individuals from each of 80 families • Genotype all parents used for broodstock • GAPS 13 microsatellite, ~75 SNPs • Parentage analysis of ≤2000 Vertical Raceway mortalities • Microsatellite panel

  6. Approach Phase II 2010-2014 • Recover PBT Unuk brood samples from the troll fisheries via ADF&G tag lab and returns to LPW. • Test abilities of microsatellite and SNPs identify PBT Unuk brood troll caught fish. • Examine family correlated survival via parentage analysis on all PBT Unuk brood returning to LPW.

  7. LPW Stock Background • Unuk R. – Cripple Cr. Stock • Brought to LPW – 1976 • Larger founder population (250) • Wild gametes (1976-81) • Hatchery lines 100% CWT • ~500 LPW Unuk stock CWT’s recovered by ADF&G tag lab annually

  8. Progress Phase I • Spawning of 2007 Unuk Adults- 122 F, 61 M

  9. Experimental Design • Crossed 122 females, 61 males (2F x 1M) • Created 122 families, 61 halfsib pairs • Eyed stage selected 84 families, 42 halfsib pairs • Ponded 79 families, 39 halfsib pairs

  16. Collection of Mortality’s • Collect mortalities on weekly bases • Tissue sample each mortality and preserve • Total mortalities to date- 985

  17. Tagging of Juveniles in Large VRs • Oct 2008 all 10 Vertical Raceways • Growth Data • Total number of tagged individuals

  18. Growth Data

  19. Number of CWT Individuals

  20. 2009 Field Activities • Continue to monitor growth and survival • Evaluate CWT retention • Release smolts ~ May 15 2009 • Collect mini-jacks July thru August

  21. 2009 Laboratory Activities • Evaluate GAPS microsatellite and SNP for PBT • Parentage analysis of VR mortalities
