Michael Price (above) is a doctoral student at B.C.’s Simon Fraser University, and the lead author of a recently published article examing newly discovered 100-year-old Skeena River sockeye salmon DNA. The DNA comes from an extensive collection of early 20th-century scale samples, recorded along with each fish’s weight, length and sex, and the date it was caught.

In this episode, Price talks to Blue Fish Radio host/producer Lawrence Gunther about how this trove of data is providing a deeper understanding of the Skeena’s sockeye, and how it will be used to help ensure the species’ survival.
