Tools at our disposal• Catch and ichthyoplankton data• Morphometry

• Artificial tagging– large scale studies in the 1930’s & 40’s
• Natural tagging – parasites– chemical/isotopic signatures in otoliths
• Genetic analyses– blood type– allozymes– mtDNA sequencing– microsatellites

Variations in Vertebral Counts
Felix-Uraga et al. 2005
Variability in Otolith shape
Otolith morphometry (the frill factor)
Otolith measurements greater than predicted (50% = average of all otoliths). Number of otoliths for each region indicated on the graph (total = 4147 otoliths).

Tagging Studies
• Large numbers of fish tagged along Pacific Coast and recovered in canneries
• Movement of fish between Canada and San Diego
• Northern Baja fish showed limited northward movement
• No tag returns from Southern Baja

Parasites as natural tags
• trematode Lecithaster gibbosus suggests retention of locally spawned fish in the Pacific NW• trematode Myosaccium ecaude supports coastwide migration
Oxygen Isotope studies
Valle & Herzka 2008
Isotope values used to extrapolate average temperature conditions experienced by sardine (circles). Dashes denote monthly average SST at location.

Challenges for Population Genetics
• Known migratory behavior– Geographic overlap but temporal separation?
• Repeated large-scale population fluctuations– Multiple population bottlenecks?
• Human mediated gene flow– Transport and release of sardine by sportfishing vessels
How to address these challenges?
• Large sample size and/or large number of genetic markers• Discrete temporal sampling to address hypothesized movements of stocks• Range-wide sampling

Genetic Studies and the Goldilocks Problem•Allozymes – not enough variation
•Hedgecock et al. 1989 – 32 allozyme loci•“There is so little variation within and between Pacific sardine populations that it is not possible to test whether distributions of genotypes conform to the expectations of random mating or whether allelic frequencies are heterogeneous throughout the range of populations sampled. That sardines in widely separated localities have the same rare alleles suggests strongly, however, that there has been substantial gene flow among contemporary populations.”
•Mitochondrial DNA sequences - too much variation
•Microsatellites – way too much variation•17 microsatellite loci (Pereyra et al. 2004, Hyde unpublished)
•21-72 alleles per locus (mean = 44.1)

Conclusions and Future Directions
•Tagging data supports coastwide migratory behavior•Evidence exists for geographically associated phenotypic heterogeneity•Likely driven by environmental conditions
•Low to no genetic heterogeneity•The need for markers under natural selection
•Heterogeneity in otolith oxygen isotopes•Driven by environmental conditions
•A need for a comprehensive rangewide survey
