To inform sustainable management practices an extensive understanding of population genetic structure and diversity is needed. This project builds on previous work to analyze the population structure and genetic diversity of regional Pacific Herring stocks. By analyzing the control region 1 (COI) gene in the mitochondrial genome and comparing samples throughout Alaska's waters.
