Workplan
The achievement of the general and specific objectives planned will be ensured through the completion of the following tasks that have been grouped in three work packages.
WP1
Data preparation
- Task 1.1. Sampling, documenting and archiving.
- Task 1.2. Generation of genetic data tables.
Deliverable 1.1. Database of samples per species with corresponding metadata
Deliverable 1.2.Table of discovered and genotyped variants per Species
WP2
Connectivity and genetic adaptation
- Task 2.1. Population connectivity and identification of spawning components
- Task 2.2. Identification of genomic signatures of adaptation
- Task 2.3. Detecting and quantifying inter and intraspecific hybridization
- Task 2.4. Development and application of single(few)-marker assays for individual assignment
Deliverable 2.1. Report about the population structure of the black anglerfish, including hybridization with the white anglerfish
Deliverable 2.2. Report about the population structure of the European hake, including potential temporal spawning components and signatures of adaptation
Deliverable 2.3. Report about the population structure of the European pilchard, including potential temporal spawning components and signatures of adaptation
Deliverable 2.4. Report about the population structure of the Atlantic mackerel, including potential area related spawning components and signatures of adaptation
WP3
Integration of genetic information into fisheries assessment
- Task 3.1. Simulation of the assessment using alternative scenarios
- Task 3.2. Strategies to effectively communicate genetic data to the assessment process
Deliverable 3.1. Report comparing the assessment for hake using the current versus the genetically-informed scenario
Deliverable 3.2. Report comparing the assessment for white anglerfish using the current versus the genetically-informed scenario
