Genetic Change in Hatchery Populations

  • Chapter
Genetic Conservation of Salmonid Fishes

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 248))

Artificial propagation of salmonid fish has a long and varied history (Gall and Crandell, 1992) with both its critics and its proponents. However, most criticism has not been particularly constructive due to a lack of appreciation or knowledge by the critics of the hatchery programs or their objectives.
