This dataset contains sampling information for samples collected for genetic parentage analysis from juvenile rockfish – species, sample date, location individual size and sample disposition.
Tissue samples are collected from juvenile fish for genetic samples. Samples from juvenile fishes are collected from larval collectors (SMURFs) and by divers using collecting nets (BINCKE) at the kelp canopy surface. Juvenile fish are taken aboard a vessel, fin-clipped (a small portion of the second dorsal or caudal fin) to obtain tissue for genetic analysis, measured, and returned to nearby kelp canopy habitat. Dataset includes the date and location of sampling, species, individual length (total length to the nearest mm), and disposition of the sampled individual (sacrificed or released).
