Data from: Identification of quantitative genetic components of fitness variation in farmed, hybrid and native salmon in the wild
Francois Besnier, Kevin A. Glover, Sigbjørn Lien, Matthew Kent, Michael M. Hansen, Xia Shen & Øystein Skaala
Feral animals represent an important problem in many ecosystems due to interbreeding with wild conspecifics. Hybrid offspring from wild and domestic parents are often less adapted to local environment and ultimately, can reduce the fitness of the native population. This problem is an important concern in Norway, where each year, hundreds of thousands of farm Atlantic salmon escape from fish farms. Feral fish outnumber wild populations, leading to a possible loss of local adaptive genetic...
