Identification of non-neutral single nucleotide polymorphisms in Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Atlantic salmon populations located within the inner Bay of Fundy (iBoF) have declined during the last two decades, and in 2002 were designated by COSEWIC as endangered. Today, most populations only exist in a captive breeding program managed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Conservation o...
