| Summary: | Genetic admixture between wild and introduced populations is a rising concern for the management of endangered species. Here we use a dual approach based on molecular analyses of samples collected before and after hatchery fish introduction in combination with a simulation study to get insight into the mechanisms of admixture in wild populations. Using 17 microsatellites we genotyped pre- and post-stocking samples from four Atlantic salmon populations supplemented with non-native fish to estimate genetic admixture. We also used individual-based temporally explicit simulations based on realistic demographic and stocking data to predict the extent of admixture. We found a low admixture by hatchery stocks within pre-stocking samples but moderate to high values in post-stocking samples (from 12 % to 60 %). The simulation scenarios best fitting the real data suggested a 10 to 25 times lower survival of stocked fish relative to wild individuals. Simulations also suggested relatively high dispersal rates of stocked ... : dataGenotypes of the individuals, ordered by rivers and cohorts. ... |
