Effects of environmental stress on mRNA expression levels of seven genes related to oxidative stress and growth in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. of farmed, hybrid and wild origin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-12-05)Background: Ten generations of domestication selection has caused farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. to deviate from wild salmon in a range of traits. Each year hundreds of thousands of farmed salmon escape into the ... -
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 ... -
Judging a salmon by its spots: Environmental variation is the primary determinant of spot patterns in Salmo salar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04-12)Background. In fish, morphological colour changes occur from variations in pigment concentrations and in the morphology, density, and distribution of chromatophores in the skin. However, the underlying mechanisms remain ... -
Thermal plasticity in farmed, wild and hybrid Atlantic salmon during early development: Has domestication caused divergence in low temperature tolerance?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02-16)Background: In the past three decades, millions of domesticated Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. have escaped from farms into the wild. Their offspring display reduced survival in the natural environment, which demonstrates ...
