Selection against individuals from genetic introgression of escaped farmed salmon in a natural population of Atlantic salmon
Abstract The viability of wild Atlantic salmon populations is threatened by genetic introgression from escaped farmed salmon. Farmed Atlantic salmon are genetically improved for important commercial traits and a life in captivity but are poorly adapted to the natural environment. The rate of gene fl...
