This work forms part of the SALSEA-Merge research project (Project No. 212529) and was funded by the European Union under theme six of the Seventh Framework programme. It was also co-sponsored by the Atlantic Salmon Trust and the Total Foundation, who we thank for financial support. PMcG and JC were partly supported by the Beaufort Marine Research Award in Fish Population Genetics funded by the Irish Government under the Sea Change Programme. The work was also supported under financial support of the program of fundamental research of Presidium of RAS "Searching fundamental scientific investigations in the interests of development of the Arctic zone of Russian Federation." The authors also thank the numerous people responsible across Europe whom helped collect samples and assisted with the laboratory analyses. The manuscript benefited greatly from editorial and reviewer comments on an earlier draft and the authors wish to express thanks for their time and comprehensive inputs.
