Across rather than between river genetic structure in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in north-east Scotland, UK: potential causes and management implications.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to examine the genetic structuring, based on c. 4300 single nucleotide polymorphic markers, of juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar sampled from 11 rivers in north-east Scotland, which form part of a radial drainage system. Within this area, sites in the upper mountainous and lower coastal sections of the different rivers were more closely related than sites from the upper and lower...
