Interactions and Potential Causes to the M74 Syndrome Affecting Sea-Run Baltic Salmon (Salmo salar) Populations

Baltic salmon (Salmo salar) populations originating from the Swedish East Coast have suffered from the reproduction disorder M74 since 1974. Between 1992–96 the mean frequency of M74 in Swedish compensatory rearing stations varied between 50 and 80%. The highest recorded incidence of M74 was in 1993...

Between 1992–96 the mean frequency of M74 in Swedish compensatory rearing stations varied between 50 and 80%. The highest recorded incidence of M74 was in 1993 when 96 % of all family groups from the River Ume developed M74.
