Purpose: To identify the presence of, and relationships between, different source populations of Dungeness crab and to determine the connectivity of these populations.
Research Priorities:
Define the source and sink dynamics along the west coast, specifically targeting Washington State, for Dungeness crab populations
Use genetic tools to define stock structure in the crab population
Identify connectivity of regional population(s) of Dungeness crab
