| Notes | “The goal of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of Dungeness crab off the Oregon coast and provide baseline data that could be used to help inform decisions on marine spatial planning. From a conservation and management standpoint, it is critical to determine the population genetic structure and genetic diversity within subpopulations to ensure the long term viability of a species.” (p.4-5) There are clear and helpful explanations of the concepts and issues involved in this study. Nicely done. |
