Session Twelve: Nearshore Fish Ecology and Interactions SONIC TRACKING OF EXPERIMENTALLY RELEASED FARMED ATLANTIC SALMON (Salmo salar) IN THE COBSCOOK BAY REGION, MAINE
The escape of salmon from sea cage sites and their subsequent potential for genetic introgression with wild Atlantic salmon populations is a conservation concern. Research has shown that juveniles from pure farm X farm crosses and from hybrids of farm X wild salmon are less fi t in the wild than off...

| Summary: | The escape of salmon from sea cage sites and their subsequent potential for genetic introgression with wild Atlantic salmon populations is a conservation concern. Research has shown that juveniles from pure farm X farm crosses and from hybrids of farm X wild salmon are less fi t in the wild than offspring resulting from pure wild fi sh crosses. Juvenile salmon of wholly or partially of farm-origin fi sh in a river can displace wild juveniles |
