Abbreviations: Ar, allelic richness; He, expected heterozygosity; Ho, observed heterozygosity; ID, population ID for Figure 1; mtDNA, mitochondrial DNA; N, number of salmon; Nw, northwest; RFLP, restriction fragment length polymorphism; Sw, south west.

mtDNA RFLP composite haplotypes were derived from restriction enzymes AvaII, HaeIII, HinfI and RsaI. Two regional assignments are listed for each population: the first regional assignment classifies a population according to the microsatellite analysis, and the second is based on the mtDNA analysis.
