I am studying metapopulation dynamics of freshwater (landlocked) salmonid species introduced in Patagonian lakes. To estimate and model stock demographics using a metapopulation approach, it is crucial to be able to establish the patterns of migration connectivity among different compartments of the lake-river hydrographic network. I wanted to use genetic markers to establish relatedness and individual exchange between compartments. What markers are most suited for this purpose, considering that this populations were founded by layered introduction of salmonid species throughout the 20th century? I expect individuals coming from each source being genetically homogeneous, but being different across sources.
