Summary

This dataset contains the physical collection information (e.g., sample location, date, gear type) and microsatellite DNA genotype of egg and larval Lake Sturgeon collected in the St. Clair and Detroit rivers in 2015 and 2016. Individuals were genotyped for 18 microsatellite loci (13 disomic and 5 polysomic). Alleles (base pair sizes) were recorded as presence absence scores (1:present, 2:absent, 0:missing data) for all previously observed alleles. Thus individual genotypes were recorded as pseudo diploid dominant phenotypes resulting in individual vectors of length n=205 for each genotyped egg or larval individual.

Purpose

Using family reconstruction based on genotypes attained from collected eggs and larvae these data were used to infer numbers of spawning adults, mean and variance in reproductive success, effective population sizes, and individual spawning locations of Lake Sturgeon near constructed spawning reefs in the St. Clair and Detroit rivers in 2015 and 2016. Microsatellite genotypes are useful when calculating metrics used to assess genetic population structure, measures of genetic diversity, and for family reconstruction analysis. This dataset was used to infer the number of adults contributing offspring, if adults spawned in multiple locations, effective population sizes, and mean and variance in reproductive success.
