Sampling location for harbor seal genetics in Washington and British Columbia from 1993-08-25 to 2009-09-23 (NCEI Accession 0148458). NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. Using skin samples from 777 unweaned pups collected in 9 different regions in WA state and British Columbia (WA Coastal Estuaries, WA North Coast, British Columbia, Boundary Bay, San Juan Islands, Smith/Minor Islands, Dungeness Spit, Hood Canal, South Puget Sound), the California Current Ecosystem Program at the Marine Mammal Laboratory/AFSC tested levels of genetic variation using mtDNA and 9 microsatellite loci. For both mtDNA and microsatellites we found the same four groupings. Previously, harbor seals were managed as two stocks: coastal and Inland waters. The data indicated that the harbor seals should be managed as four stocks: one on the Coast and three stocks in the Inland Waters. An additional 92 skin samples were collected opportunistically from non-pups. They have not yet been analyzed. The CCEP of MML collected genetic samples from pups to determine stocks of harbor seals on Washington Coast and Inland Waters. Genetic samples from other age classes were also collected. completed Huber, Harriet harriet.huber@noaa.gov pointOfContact Delong, Robert robert.delong@noaa.gov pointOfContact Huber, Harriet harriet.huber@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded Genetics Microsatellite DNA Mitochondrial DNA Pacific harbor seal Phoca vitulina Stock Definition theme Pupping season temporal British Columbia, Canada Washington Inland Waters Washington coast place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AFSC > Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

Genetic samples were acquired using a 6mm skin punch. Samples not collected by MML were collected by Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (San Juan Island, WA), Sarvey Wildlife Center (Arlington, WA), Washington Fish and Wildlife Department (Tacoma, WA) necropsies, and Cascadia Research Collective (Olympia, WA) necropsies. Samples were analyzed at Southwest Fisheries Science Center (La Jolla, CA), Northwest Fisheries Science Center (Seattle, WA), and at MERL/AFSC (Seattle, WA). otherRestrictions otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None. | Use Constraints: Metadata are subject to revision at any time and information within the metadata record should not be cited without author consent.
