There is concern that the progeny resulting from the spawnings of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon may compete with and disrupt native salmon populations. This study compared, both in the hatchery and in the wild, fitness‐related traits and examined interactions among farmed, native and hybrid 0+ parr...
