The Atlantic Salmon [PDF ebook] 
Genetics, Conservation and Management

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.
