Article Synopsis
- Gene flow between wild and domestic salmon populations is a significant concern, particularly regarding the influence of European salmon on North American aquaculture despite regulations against their use in Canada.
- Evidence shows that farmed salmon in North America increasingly exhibit European ancestry, with some individuals having over 40% European genetic material.
- Studies reveal that even juvenile wild salmon near aquaculture sites show signs of European heritage, indicating that hybridization and the potential impacts on wild populations are ongoing issues.
