Summary report - LMR/CF/03/04: Feasibility study into the application of genetic techniques for determining fish stock identity of transboundary populations in the BCLME region
Contracted to: BENEFIT
Author: Dr Paulette Bloomer (Department of Genetics, University of Pretoria)
Completion date: November 2003
Summary: This report reviews the potential application of genetic techniques for identification of fish stocks. From the literature consulted, interviews with fisheries scientists and responses from local and international geneticists, it is clear that genetic analyses can make a contribution towards the identification of transboundary populations in the BCLME region. Future genetic work should, however, be carefully prioritized and planned. The latter is especially relevant to ensure adequate sampling that would be crucial for obtaining conclusive results. It is also important that fisheries scientists, managers and geneticists work towards the same goal, I.e. to understand and identify stocks using only one working definition of a stock. Several species with potential transboundary populations or with potential separate stocks were identified as priorities for genetic study, although the list provided in the report may not be exhaustive.
