Infos

Atlantic Salmon is a cultural icon throughout its North Atlantic range; it is the focus of probably the World's highest profile recreational fishery and is the basis for one of the World's largest aquaculture industries. Despite this, many wild stocks of salmon are in decline and underpinning this is a dearth of information on the nature and extent of population structuring and adaptive population differentiation, and its implications for species conservation.

This important new book will go a long way to rectify this situation by providing a thorough review of the genetics of Atlantic salmon. Sponsored by the European Union and the Atlantic Salmon Trust, this book comprises the work of an international team of scientists, carefully integrated and edited to provide a landmark book of vital interest to all those working with Atlantic salmon.

Rezensionen

'One of the main objectives of this book was to discuss the
latest developments in salmon genetics, conservation and management
in a comprehensible manner as far as non-geneticists are concerned.
This objective has been achieved and achieved well.

This book is sure to find a big following among those
involved with Atlantic salmon culture in every respect. It will
also be enormously useful to anyone involved with every other type
of cage aquaculture.'
