Invasive Salmonids

Aquaculture is a major source of aquatic invasive species (AIS), but to what extent aquaculture escapees become established by means of high propagule pressure and multiple origins is unclear.  We use molecular markers and stable isotopes to trace the origin of salmonid escapees and to identify populations of native fish impacted by salmon farming.
