TLDR
The proportion of cultured salmon in these populations has increased together with the rapid growth of the Norwegian salmon farming industry, and fish of cultured origin now exceed the number of wild fish in several spawning populations.About:

Atlantic Salmon, Salmo Salar
TL;DR: Farming of Atlantic salmon began in Norway in the late 1960s and during the 1980s and 1990s the production spread, mainly to other northwestern European countries and to Chile.

Introduction of non-native freshwater fish: is it all bad
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that on the global scale, the majority of freshwater fish introductions are not identified as having an ecological impact while having great societal benefits, while a great majority of research focuses on the few negative cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic divergence and interactions in the wild among native, farmed and hybrid Atlantic salmon
Sigurd Einum,Ian A. Fleming +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that innate differences in behaviour and growth, that probably are linked closely to fitness, will threaten native populations through competition and disruption of local adaptations.

Management of environmental impacts of marine aquaculture in Europe
P. A. Read,Teresa F. Fernandes +1 more
TL;DR: A number of current, key environmental concerns pertaining to the impact and regulation of marine aquaculture, which whilst being the subject of divergent views, are pivotal to the development of the industry are examined and recommendations for systems, procedures and research to address these concerns are identified.

Ross D. Houston,Tim P. Bean,Daniel J. Macqueen,Manu Kumar Gundappa,Ye Hwa Jin,Tom L. Jenkins,Sarah Louise C Selly,Samuel A.M. Martin,Jamie R. Stevens,Eduarda M. Santos,Andrew Davie,Diego Robledo +11 more
TL;DR: The authors review how genomics is being applied to aquaculture species at all stages of the domestication process to optimize selective breeding and how combining genomic selection with biotechnological innovations, such as genome editing and surrogate broodstock technologies, may further expedite genetic improvement in Aquaculture.

A review of local adaptation in Salmonidac, with particular reference to Pacific and Atlantic salmon
TL;DR: A survey of studies favours the idea that local adaptation is responsible for much of the genetic variation observed among populations in morphological and meristic, behavioural, developmental, physiological and biochemical, and life history traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Effects of Cultured Fish on Natural Fish Populations
TL;DR: Findings are consistent with theoretical considerations of the implications of elevated levels of gene flow between cultured and locally adapted natural populations and raise concerns over the genetic future of many natural populations in the light of increasing numbers of released fish.

6 Fish Gamete Preservation and Spermatozoan Physiology
TL;DR: Because information about fish spermatozoa morphology, metabolism, and motility is rather scarce and scattered in the literature, these subjects are given particular attention.

The Adaptive Significance of Variations in Life History among Local Populations of Atlantic Salmon in North America
TL;DR: The observed patterns of variation in life history are adaptive and take the agreement between theory and nature as a validation of the hypothesis that populations will in general differ from each other in the manner of their respective optima.
