Hybridization between Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar L. and Brown Trout S. trutta L. upon Artificial Propagation

Russian Journal of Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Samples of Salmo salar and S. trutta were examined in 12 Russian fish hatcheries. With protein markers, hybrids of the two species were found in three hatcheries of the Baltic Sea basin. Some fishes had a phenotype intermediate between theS. salar and S. trutta phenotypes by morphological traits, but did not differ genetically from one of the parental species. Possible consequences of hybridization and ways to prevent it are discussed.
