Efficient species identification for Pacific salmon genetic monitoring programs.

ABSTRACT: Genetic monitoring of Pacific salmon in the Columbia River basin provides crucial information to fisheries managers that is otherwise challenging to obtain using traditional methods. Monitoring programs such as genetic stock identification (GSI) and parentage-based tagging (PBT) involve genotyping tens of thousands of individuals annually. Although rare, these large sample collections inevitably include misidentified species, which exhibit low genotyping success on species-specific Genotyping-in-Thousands by sequencing (GT-seq) panels. For laboratories involved in large-scale genotyping efforts, diagnosing non-target species and reassigning them to the appropriate monitoring program can be costly and time-consuming. To address this problem, we identified 19 primer pairs that exhibit consis
