Abstract Anadromous salmonid fishes frequently exhibit strong geographic population structuring. However, population genetic differentiation of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) at fine geographic scales differs across equivalent spatial extents in different regions. So far, fine-scale genetic differe...
