Assessment of interbreeding and introgression of farm genes into a small Scottish Atlantic salmon Salmo salar stock: Ad hoc samples - ad hoc results?
An eclectic set of tissues and existing data, including purposely collected samples, spanning 1997–2006, was used in an ad hoc assessment of hybridization and introgression of farmed wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the small Loch na Thull (LnT) catchment in north-west Scotland. The catchment is...
