Escapement of farmed fish from the aquaculture is considered as a risk for negative genetic impacts on native gene pools. In order to investigate potential interbreeding between cultured and wild Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L, a genetically marked cod strain was developed. These fish are homozygote f...
