Captive breeding programs are increasingly being initiated to prevent the imminent
extinction of endangered species and/or populations. But how well can they conserve …

Large numbers of hatchery salmon spawn in wild populations each year. Hatchery fish with
multiple generations of hatchery ancestry often have heritably lower reproductive success …

Quantitative modeling methods have become a central tool in the management of harvested
fish populations. This book examines how these modeling methods work, why they …

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 …

The high level of escapes from Atlantic salmon farms, up to two million fishes per year in the
North Atlantic, has raised concern about the potential impact on wild populations. We report …

Farm Atlantic salmon escape and invade rivers throughout the North Atlantic annually, which
has generated growing concern about their impacts on native salmon populations. A large …

The historical, political and scientific aspects of salmon hatchery programmes designed to
enhance fishery production, or to recover endangered populations, are reviewed. We start …

This book synthesizes existing knowledge of the process of domestication and how captive

The farming of salmon and other marine finfish in open net pens continues to increase along
the world's coastlines as the aquaculture industry expands to meet human demand. Farm …

Farmed fishes are often selectively bred for desirable production traits, such as rapid growth,
that brings with them behavioural differences. In addition, the striking differences in the …
