Does density influence relative growth performance of farm, wild and F1 hybrid Atlantic salmon in semi-natural and hatchery common garden conditions?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)The conditions encountered by Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in aquaculture are markedly different from the natural environment. Typically, farmed salmon experience much higher densities than wild individuals, and may ... -
An extensive common‐garden study with domesticated and wild Atlantic salmon in the wild reveals impact on smolt production and shifts in fitness traits
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-19)Interactions between domesticated escapees and wild conspecifics represent a threat to the genetic integrity and fitness of native populations. For Atlantic salmon, the recurrent presence of large numbers of domesticated ... -
Genetic introgression of farmed salmon in native populations: quantifying the relative influence of population size and frequency of escapees
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02-11)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. ... -
Growth reaction norms of domesticated, wild and hybrid Atlantic salmon families in response to differing social and physical environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10-28)Background: Directional selection for growth has resulted in the 9-10th generation of domesticated Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. outgrowing wild salmon by a ratio of approximately 3:1 when reared under standard hatchery ... -
Unravelling the complexity of salt marsh ‘Fucuscottonii’ forms (Phaeophyceae, Fucales)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Genetic affiliation, nuclear DNA content, and gamete functioning were examined in small salt marsh Fucus from three localities in western Ireland. Individuals with small and dioecious receptacles were found at all localities, ...
