LONG-TERM EVIDENCE THAT PRECOCIOUS PARR CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE EFFECTIVE SIZE OF A POPULATION OF ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR)

LONG-TERM EVIDENCE THAT PRECOCIOUS PARR CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE EFFECTIVE SIZE OF A POPULATION OF ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR)

I describe temporal changes in the genetic composition of a small anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) population from South Newfoundland, an area where salmon populations are considered as Threatened (COSEWIC 2010). I examined the genetic variability (13 microsatellite loci) in 869 out-migratin...
