Generic genetic differences between farmed and wild Atlantic Salmon identified from a 7K SNP-chip
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)Genetic interactions between farmed and wild conspecifics are of special concern in fisheries where large numbers of domesticated individuals are released into the wild. In the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), selective ... -
Selection against individuals from genetic introgression of escaped farmed salmon in a natural population of Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)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 ... -
Widespread genetic introgression of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon in wild salmon populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) escape from net pens and enter rivers to spawn, potentially resulting in genetic introgression and reduced fitness of wild salmon. Here, we quantify genetic introgression of farmed to ...
