Most Norwegian salmon populations are characterized by small numbers of fish. The
proportion of cultured salmon in these populations has increased together with the rapid …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar, Salmonidae) show a diversity of life history,
behavioural and morphological adaptations for reproduction which have evolved as an …

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 …

The escape of fish from aquaculture is perceived as a threat to wild fish populations. The
escapes problem is largely caused by technical and operational failures of fish farming …

Although aquaculture as a biological production system has a long history, systematic and
efficient breeding programs to improve economically important traits in the farmed species …

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 …

There is concern that the progeny resulting from the spawnings of escaped farmed Atlantic
salmon may compete with and disrupt native salmon populations. This study compared, both …

The main molecular techniques which can be used to generate genetic markers, and the
applications of these markers to studies of fish populations are outlined. Published and …
