Farmed to wild genetic introgression
▪ 16 407 samples adult salmon ▪ 5155 samples of juveniles ▪ 109 populations ▪ Significant introgression in 51 (47%) ▪ Average introgression 6.4%, Range 0 – 42% ▪ Highest introgression in the most farming intensive regions

Consequences
- Atlantic Phylogenetic grouo
3350 individuals 22 Large-salmon rivers 26 Small-salmon rivers
- Barents/White Sea –
Phylogenetic group
751 individuals 6 Large-salmon rivers 8 Small-salmon rivers
Large effect on Sea-age and growth
- Different effect in males
and females
- Different effect in large
and small salmon rivers
- Phylogenetic origin
matters - Different effect in the Atlantic and the Barents/White Sea Phylogenetic groups
