- Abstract:
- Genetic analysis of archive material can enable temporal changes in the population structure of animal and plant species to be studied. The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey has collected plankton data from the World's seas since 1946. The CPR sample archive represents a major resource for spatial and temporal investigations of marine populations from a period when marine pollution, exploitation and global anthropogenic impact were much less pronounced, to the present day. DNA can be recovered and amplified successfully from the CPR sample archive. This proposal will use molecular genetic analyses to firstly study a long-term change in the zooplankton of the North Sea and secondly to assess the utility of the CPR archive for the study of temporal and spatial change in fish populations. The results will be relevant to marine conservation and resource management.
