Genetic Stock Composition of Subyearling Chinook Salmon in Seasonal Floodplain Wetlands of the Lower Willamette River, Oregon
Abstract
We used genetic identification methods to examine the stock composition of subyearling Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in floodplain wetland and main‐stem habitats of the lower Willamette River, Oregon. Using a microsatellite DNA baseline of 13 standardized loci and 30 Columbia River basin populations, we analyzed 280 subyearlings collected in winter and spring 2005‐2006 from wetland and main‐stem river sites. Genetic stock identification analysis indicated that spring Chinook salmon originating from the Willamette River made up a substantial proportion of the samples and contributed 16‐71% to sample mixtures representing the wetland habitat sites. Fall Chinook salmon from lower Columbia River sources were also present and contributed 58% of winter samples. Spring Chinook salmon from lower Columbia River populations were present in both wetland (17%) and river (16%) samples in spring 2005, and subyearlings from summer‐fall‐run populations in the middle and upper Columbia River contributed to spring wetland samples in 2006 (26%). The results suggest that floodplain restoration projects intended to improve fish habitats during winter and spring periods in the lower Willamette River may benefit Chinook salmon populations from the upper Willamette River, lower Columbia River, and upper Columbia River summer‐fall evolutionarily significant units.

These data are consistent with recent evidence of subyearling spring Chinook salmon juveniles rearing in lower Willamette River wetlands during winter and spring.
“While few in number, these data are consistent with recent evidence of subyearling spring Chinook salmon juveniles rearing in lower Willamette River wetlands during winter and spring (Teel et al. 2009).”

Sites further upriver are likely to have a different stock component utilizing shallow-water habitat in those areas.
“Sites further upriver are likely to have a different stock component utilizing shallowwater habitat in those areas (Sather et al. 2009;Teel et al. 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
