Patterns of genetic variability during the decline of Iberian Atlantic Salmon populations
Over the last 50 years, populations of Cantabrian Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar) have been in decline. In response to the declines, restocking of the rivers using non-native eggs and juveniles was carried out; the restocking activities may have been responsible for introductions of infectious disease...
