Consequences of farmed-wild hybridization across divergent wild populations and multiple traits in salmon
(2010-06)
Theory predicts that hybrid fitness should decrease as population divergence increases. This
suggests that the effects of human-induced hybridization might be adequately predicted from the
known divergence among parental ...
Mixed evidence for reduced local adaptation in wild salmon resulting from interbreeding with escaped farmed salmon: complexities in hybrid fitness
(2008-08)
Interbreeding between artificially-selected and wild organisms can have negative fitness
consequences for the latter. In the Northwest Atlantic, farmed Atlantic salmon recurrently escape
into the wild and enter rivers ...
