Abstract: The UI Aquaculture Research Institute, in collaboration with USGS-BRD Columbia River Research Laboratory Staff, will produce and analyze microsatellite data from spring chinook salmon reared in groundwater and surface water. The project was designed to test effects of the hatchery (groundwater) and wild (surface water) rearing environments on development and survival in juvenile salmonids.
