Molecular Baseline Allele Frequencies for Pacific Fish Stocks

Microsatellite allele frequencies by stock for several Pacific marine fish species. Fisheries and Oceans Canada published this dataset under the OGL-CA-2.0 license. The dataset was last updated on April 23, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze genetic stock structure based on microsatellite allele frequencies.
• Monitor population genetic diversity over time using baseline allele data.
• Assess genetic connectivity between fish stocks across the Pacific.
• Support fisheries management decisions with molecular genetic markers.
• Compare allele frequency distributions among different marine species.

Strengths

• Published by a national government agency, Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
• Last updated on April 23, 2026, indicating recent maintenance.
• Available under the open OGL-CA-2.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to Fisheries and Oceans Canada's monitoring areas.
