Estimating natural selection acting on stream-dwelling Atlantic salmon: implications for the restoration of extirpated populations
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on Atlantic salmon. The authors has estimated the natural selection acting on this salmon, and they report that any of the traits have been the subject to strong directional selection, and that any additional introductions of exogenous fish need to be concentrated on the growth or size of juveniles.
