Population structure of sea-type and lake-type sockeye salmon and kokanee in the Fraser River and Columbia River drainages. by Terry D Beacham, Ruth E Withler

“…Population structure of three ecotypes of Oncorhynchus nerka (sea-type Sockeye Salmon, lake-type Sockeye Salmon, and Kokanee) in the Fraser River and Columbia River drainages was examined with microsatellite variation, with the main focus as to whether Kokanee population structure within the Fraser River drainage suggested either a monophyletic or polyphyletic origin of the ecotype within the drainage. …”
