Stocking may increase mitochondrial DNA diversity but fails to halt the decline of endangered Atlantic salmon populations

2007-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Over the last 50 years, Spanish Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations have been in decline. In order to bolster these populations, rivers were stocked with fish of northern European origin during the period 1974-1996, probably also introducing the furunculosis-inducing pathogen, Aeromonas salmonicida. Here we assess the relative importance of processes influencing mitochondrial (mt)DNA variability in these pop...
