Prospects for the future of pink salmon in three oceans: From the native Pacific to the novel Arctic and Atlantic
Abstract While populations of other migratory salmonids suffer in the Anthropocene, pink salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbusca Salmonidae) are thriving, and their distribution is expanding both within their natural range and in the Atlantic and Arctic following introduction of the species to the White Sea...

Abstract While populations of other migratory salmonids suffer in the Anthropocene, pink salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbusca Salmonidae) are thriving, and their distribution is expanding both within their natural range and in the Atlantic and Arctic following introduction of the species to the White Sea in the 1950s.
