Abstract

Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) experienced a severe demographic population bottleneck caused by commercial whaling that ceased in 1914. Aboriginal subsistence whale harvests have continued and are managed by the International Whaling Commission. In an effort to provide management advice for bowhead whales, 25 microsatellite loci were isolated from genomic DNA libraries. This panel of markers will be utilized to analyse stock structure hypotheses of current bowhead whale populations.

摘要

弓头鲸（Balaena mysticetus）曾经历过因商业捕鲸而导致的严重人口瓶颈，商业捕鲸于 1914 年停止。因纽特人一直延续着对鲸类的生存性捕捞，这些捕捞活动由国际捕鲸委员会管理。为了为弓头鲸的管理提供建议，从基因组 DNA 文库中分离了 25 个微卫星基因座。这组标记将用于分析当前弓头鲸种群的种群结构假说。
