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

Hatcheries have long produced salmonids for fisheries and mitigation, though their
widespread use is increasingly controversial because of potential impacts to wild salmonids …

Since the Age of Exploration began, there has been a drastic breaching of biogeographic
barriers that previously had isolated the continental biotas for millions of years. We explore …

The introduction of non-native populations can lead to the competitive exclusion
(displacement) of native populations. This has been hypothesized to be further exacerbated …

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 …

New statistical developments combined with the use of highly polymorphic microsatellite
DNA markers enable the determination of the population of origin of single fish, resulting in …

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 …

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