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

A large number of species and taxa have been studied for genetic polymorphism.
Microsatellites have been known as hypervariable neutral molecular markers with the …

Phylogeographic, nested clade, and mismatch analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
variation were used to infer the temporal dynamics of distributional and demographic history …

Indigenous salmonid fish gene pools are affected by domesticated conspecifics, derived
from aquaculture escapes and deliberate releases. Variability was examined at nine …

Human induced habitat alterations affect the genetic structure of many fish populations.
Weirs in particular have caused fragmented populations previously connected by gene-flow …

The success and implications of hatchery release programmes are intimately tied to the
reproductive capabilities of the hatchery fish in the wild. Moreover, reproductive interactions …

The effects of stocking hatchery trout into wild populations were studied in a Danish river,
using microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers. Baseline samples were taken …

We studied the impact of two exotic salmonid species (brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis and
rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss) on native brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) habitat …

Salmonid populations of many rivers are rapidly declining. One possible explanation is that
habitat fragmentation increases genetic drift and reduces the populations' potential to adapt …

The marble trout (Salmo marmoratus) is an endangered species in Slovenia (and in Italy,
Croatia and Albania) because of hybridization resulting from intensive stocking. Eleven …
