Objective
The goal of the research project is to understand if deliberate or accidental introductions of non-native Atlantic salmon result in genetic changes to wild populations, and whether these changes can affect traits associated with Darwinian fitness.
The specific objectives for achieving this goal are to determine whether:
- genetic changes have occurred in wild populations in
a. selected rivers in North Donegal, Ireland
b. the River Polla, northern Scotland
c. selected rivers in northern Spain
- genetic differences among cultured and wild stocks affect their biological performance in the wild by undertaking controlled experimental studies of the freshwater development of
a. wild, cultured and mixed parentage ova in the River Gaulaun, Ireland;
b. a local and non-local Scottish stock and interstock hybrids in the River Loth, Scotland;
c. native and northern European stocks and their interstock hybrids in two selected rivers in Galicia, Spain;
- the distribution of different classes of genetic variation within and between populations provides evidence of adaptive population differentiation.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
