Table 2.

Estimates of effective population size times mutation rate (N e μ) and number of migrants per generation (N e m) from the two CBD populations recognized in Geneland analysis

Source population Host population
East coast West coast
N e μ 0.400 (0.367–0.437) 0.321 (0.293–0.353)
N e (low) 2000 (1836–2186) 1605 (1465–1766)
N e (high) 4001 (3671–4371) 3211 (2930–3532)
N e (low)/N 0.054 (0.05–0.059) 0.046 (0.042–0.05)
N e (high)/N 0.108 (0.099–0.118) 0.092 (0.084–0.101)
N e m East coast 0.057 (0.046–0.070)
West coast 0.106 (0.089–0.125)

The N e is calculated assuming that the average microsatellite mutation rate (μ) is 0.01% for N e (high) and 0.02% for N e (low). The ratio of effective to census population size (N e/N) is calculated using the census population size (N) estimated for the “Japanese Coastal” population (N = 37,000; Miyashita 1993) for the East Coast Cluster, and the N for the CBD in the southwestern Japanese waters (N = 35,000; Kasuya 2011) for West Coast Cluster. The 2.5th and 97.5th profile likelihood estimates are given in parentheses
