Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

) have experienced population declines across their native range. Widespread stocking has been a population recovery strategy, but there is a growing awareness that stocking may put genetic integrity at risk. In Prince Edward Island, Canada, over 37 million salmon have been stocked since 1880. This study used a panel of six microsatellites and next-generation sequencing to evaluate the genetic composition of 884 individuals from 20 rivers. Bayesian clustering methods inferred groupings that were generally consistent with the spatial distribution of rivers. A cluster in northeastern PEI was the most distinct, clustering separately across all methods. Distance between rivers accounted for 25.8% of the variations, whereas stocking intensity did not predict genetic variation. The genetic composition of the most heavily stocked river changed over a few years, suggesting that wild free-ranging fish could outcompete stocked fish. Currently, PEI has multiple genetic stocks that are consistent with the post-glacial biogeography rather than stocking history. Clarification of these adaptations is required to guide the incorporation of genetics into management strategies for the benefit of Atlantic salmon conservation.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
