Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is an economically and culturally important species. Norway
has more than 400 watercourses with Atlantic salmon and supports a large proportion of the …

Aquaculture is a promising source of fish and other aquatic organisms to ensure human food
security but it comes at the price of diverse environmental impacts. Among others, these …

Norwegian aquaculture has grown from its pioneering days in the 1970s to be a major
industry. It is primarily based on culturing Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout and has the …

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is one of the best researched fishes, and its aquaculture plays
a global role in the blue revolution. However, since the 1970s, tens of millions of farmed …

Introgression of farmed salmon escapees into wild stocks is a major threat to the genetic
integrity of wild populations. Using germ cell-free fish in aquaculture may mitigate this …

Abstract 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 …

Motivation: A series of methods in population genetics use multilocus genotype data to
assign individuals membership in latent clusters. These methods belong to a broad class of …

Hatchery release is one of the most popular management tools in fisheries, forestry and wild
life management, while its negative impacts on wild populations are a global concern …

Abstract Background Many native Atlantic salmon populations have been invaded by
domesticated escapees for three decades or longer. However, thus far, the cumulative level …

Interbreeding between domesticated and wild animals occurs in several species. This gene
flow has long been anticipated to induce genetic changes in life-history traits of wild …
