NotesThis paper reports on a study of the genetics of chum salmon populations south of the Columbia River. "Preliminary analysis indicates there are few unique or private alleles in the coastal populations, and this suggests there are not "unique populations" from further south migrating into northern regions, but that these coastal fish are natural, indigenous populations."
