This course introduces the principles of
basic and population genetics. Emphasis is placed on application of these
principles to increase the potential for successful management or restoration/creation
of fisheries resources.
College Credit: 2 semester hours
Who Should Attend: Fisheries biologists, hatchery managers, and program administrators.
Length: 5
days/36 hours
Objectives: By the end of this session, the participant will be able to:
- Explain
basic principles of transmission, quantitative, and population genetics;
- List the implications of genetic variation
(or lack thereof) to hatchery and wild populations;
- Apply methods of broodstock founding, maintenance, and monitoring with an
objective of maintaining genetic variability of the hatchery broodstock;
- Discuss possible genetic implications of
the interaction of hatchery stocks and endemic populations;
- Identify methods that increase potential
for successful restoration/creation of fishery resources; and
- Discuss regional fisheries issues.
