Abstract While the stocking of captive‐bred fish has been occurring for decades and has had substantial immediate genetic and evolutionary impacts on wild populations, its long‐term consequences have only been weakly investigated. Here, we conducted a spatiotemporal analysis of 1428 A tlantic salmon...
