Genomic basis for interactive effects of aquaculture introgression and climate change on local adaptation in Atlantic salmon
July 14, 2026 - Aquaculture escapees can introduce domesticated genes into wild Atlantic salmon, eroding locally adapted genetic diversity and potentially weakening populations’ ability to cope with climate change, with both threats likely acting...

Consequences of interbreeding between farmed and wild salmon under climate change: effects on thermal tolerance
February 3, 2025 - Description: The proposed research aims to assess the consequences of interbreeding between farmed and wild salmon, particularly in terms of thermal tolerance. Introgression of farm genes into wild populations may...
