  <dc:description>&lt;div class="abstract-group "&gt;&lt;div class="article-section__content en main"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sea lamprey (&lt;i&gt;Petromyzon marinus&lt;/i&gt;) is an invasive species that is a significant source of mortality for populations of valued fish species across the North American Great Lakes. Large annual control programs are needed to reduce the species' impacts; however, the number of successfully spawning adults cannot currently be accurately assessed. In this study, effective breeding size (&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;b&lt;/sub&gt;) and the minimum number of spawning adults (&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;) were estimated for larval cohorts from 17 tributaries across all five Great Lakes using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) genotyped via RAD-capture sequencing. Reconstructed larval pedigrees showed substantial variability in the size and number of full- and half-sibling groups,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;b&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;(&amp;lt;1–367), and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;(5–545) among streams. Generalized linear models examining the effects of stream environmental characteristics and aspects of sampling regimes on&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;b&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;estimates identified sample size, the number of sampling sites, and drainage area as important factors predicting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;b&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;. Correlations between&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;b&lt;/sub&gt;,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;, and capture–mark–recapture estimates of adult census size (&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;c&lt;/sub&gt;) increased when streams with small sample sizes (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; &amp;lt; 50) were removed. Results collectively indicate that parameters estimated from genetic data can provide valuable information on spawning adults in a river system, especially if sampling regimes are standardized and physical stream covariates are included.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
