Genetic diversity or variation and its measurement have vital importance in interpretation,
understanding and management of populations and individuals. Development of allozyme …

Electrophoretic studies of proteins remain a primary source of insight into genetic diversity in
many species including the Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, one of the most culturally and …

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 …

For the last 30 years, attempts have been made to discriminate among fish populations by
using molecular markers. Although some techniques have proved successful in certain …

Each year, hundreds of thousands of domesticated farmed Atlantic salmon escape into the
wild. In Norway, which is the world's largest commercial producer, many native Atlantic …

Abstract Atlantic salmon (n= 1682) from 27 anadromous river populations and two
nonanadromous strains ranging from south‐central Maine, USA to northern Spain were …

Sixty‐four samples from 46 salmon populations totalling 2369 specimens were used for
polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) analysis …

The conservation of flanking regions of ten microsatellites has been investigated in three
salmonid species. The proportion of conserved microsatellites and the level of …

The application of genetic techniques to invertebrate fisheries is in many ways essentially
similar to that in vertebrate (ie finfish) fisheries, for which there is already an extensive body …
