Maintenance of genetic diversity of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by captive breeding programmes and the geographic distribution of microsatellite variation
2002-09-01
Abstract excerpt
The capability of Finnish Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) broodstock breeding programmes to maintain genetic diversity was assessed by comparing the levels of microsatellite diversity in wild and hatchery stocks in general, and in wild and hatchery derivatives of the same stock. The effective population sizes (N(e)) of the broodstocks and the ratio of effective size to census size (N(e)/N(c)) as well as the rate...
