E. Vazquez et al., GENETIC-CHARACTERIZATION OF INTRODUCED POPULATIONS OF ATLANTIC SALMONSALMO-SALAR, IN ASTURIAS (NORTHERN SPAIN), Hereditas, 119(1), 1993, pp. 47-51
Stocks of Atlantic salmon from Northern Europe that were among those i
ntroduced to Asturian rivers over the past 15 years, were characterize
d by allele frequencies at five polymorphic protein-coding loci. A com
parison with comparable data from natural Asturian populations indicat
ed a negligible contribution of the introduced fish to fisheries and n
atural reproduction in Asturian rivers. A hatchery program based on lo
cal populations was recommended.
