Natural hybridization between Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar , and brown trout, Salmo trutta , in northern Spain

Natural hybridization between Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar , and brown trout, Salmo trutta , in... Hybrids between Atlantic salmon and brown trout were detected in two of four watersheds studied in northern Spain. The proportions of hybrids in samples of 'salmon’ranged from 0 to 7–7% but they were not significantly heterogeneous among locations, resulting in a mean hybridization rate of 2–3%. This is the highest rate of natural hybridization so far reported and is significantly greater than rates observed elsewhere in Europe. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Fish Biology Wiley

Abstract

Hybrids between Atlantic salmon and brown trout were detected in two of four watersheds studied in northern Spain. The proportions of hybrids in samples of 'salmon’ranged from 0 to 7–7% but they were not significantly heterogeneous among locations, resulting in a mean hybridization rate of 2–3%. This is the highest rate of natural hybridization so far reported and is significantly greater than rates observed elsewhere in Europe.
