Genetic introgression of farmed salmon in native populations: quantifying the relative influence of population size and frequency of escapees

Farmed escapees may threaten the genetic integrity of native salmon populations through interbreeding. However, introgression requires survival until maturation, successful reproduction and successful early development. These traits are often compromised in domesticated animals selected for high per...
