Estimating the relative fitness of escaped farmed salmon offspring in the wild and modelling the consequences of invasion for wild populations

Abstract Throughout their native range, wild Atlantic salmon populations are threatened by hybridization and introgression with escapees from net‐pen salmon aquaculture. Although domestic–wild hybrid offspring have shown reduced fitness in laboratory and field experiments, consequential impacts on p...
