1 Supporting information: Genotyping and classification 2 Microsatellite typing 3 Caudal fin samples (stored on 96% ethanol) were lysed overnight at 55ºC in 200 µl lysisbuffer 4 with 4 µl of 20 mg ml-1 proteinase K. For part of the samples DNA was extracted using 5 genemole: samples were centrifuged for 5 min at 14000 rpm, 100 µl supernatant was 6 transferred to gene mole tubes, and DNA was eluted in 100 µl H2O. Another part was 7 extracted using chelex (Walsh et al., 1991): Overnight lysis of caudal fin tissue was done in 8 300 µl 5% chelex with 9 µl 20 mg ml-1 proteinase K, after which samples were vortexed, 9 centrifuged for 5 min at 14000 rpm and 200 µl supernatant was transferred to new tubes. For 10 the rest of samples, DNA was extracted using the Qiagen DNA isolation kit with spin- 11 columns, following the instructions for tissue samples. Five µl of the resulting DNA extract 12 was transferred to 96-well plates and diluted 10x. PCR amplification was carried out in 10 µl 13 volumes consisting of 2 µl DNA template, 0.9 µl MgCl, 0.5 µl dNTP, 0.15 µl Thermostart 14 polymerase, 1 µl Thermostart buffer and primers. The primers were grouped into 3 15 multiplexes (A, B and 1), and forward primers were fluorescently labeled with FAM, NED or 16 VIC. The reference samples were typed for all 3 multiplexes, and based on differentiating 17 power, multiplexes A and 1 were chosen for the samples to be classified. Mix A included 0.4 18 µl (100µM forward and reverse) Ssa289 (FAM), 0.2 µl Ssa14 (FAM) (McConnell et al., 19 1995), 0.1 µl Ssa197 (FAM), 0.2 µl Ssa171 (FAM) (O’Reilly et al., 1996) and 0.2 µl Ssa408 20 (NED; Cairney et al., 2000). Mix 1 included 0.035 µl Sssp2210 (FAM), 0,035 µl SsspG7 21 (PET), 0.17 µl Sp2201 (PET) (Paterson et al., 2004), 0.2 µl SsaD144 (NED), 0.25 µl 22 SsaD157 (NED) (King et al. 2005) and 0.1 µl Ssa202 (FAM; O’Reilly et al., 1996) (See 23 Gilbey et al. (2004) table 1 for base sequence, annealing temperature and GenBank accession 24 code of many of the primers). Based on this, seven fish could initially not be classified with 1 25 certainty, and were additionally genotyped for mix B. Mix B included 0.05 µl u20.19 (FAM; 26 Sanchez et al., 1996), 0.3 µl Ssosl85 (NED; Slettan et al., 1995) and 0.3 µl Ssosl438 (VIC; 27 Slettan et al., 1996). 28 29 Analysis for length polymorphism was performed on an applied biosystems ABI 30 330XL using size standard GS500LIZ. Alleles were automatically called and manually 31 checked in GeneMapper v. 4.0. 32 Microsatellite Toolkit (Park, 2001) and by checking for outliers in the principal component 33 plot in Genetix v 4.05 (Belkhir et al., 1996-2004). The mean number of alleles per marker 34 was 9. Screening for errors was done using the Excel add-in 35 36 Classification 37 Since genotypes of the parents of either group were not available, 26 unrelated Aqua 38 Gen fish and 24 unrelated Imsa fish from the same year classes as the parents were used as 39 reference groups for classification. Identical results were obtained from GeneClass 2 (Piry et 40 al., 2004) and Structure 2.3.3 (Pritchard et al., 2000) using a threshold of 95%. All 7 of the 41 fish from the channels could be classified to either group, but 13 fish from the unconfined 42 stream channels could not be classified with certainty, of which 11 were genotyped for 3 43 markers or less, despite repeated attempts. 44 45 46 References 47 48 2 49 Belkhir K., Borsa P., Chikhi L., Raufaste N. & Bonhomme F.
