After fifty years of salmon farming, the study found that genetic introgression from farmed escapees can accelerate the growth rate of wild Atlantic salmon and lead to earlier seaward migration and sexual maturity, with significant variation among populations. Additionally, variation at major-effect loci associated with age at maturity was minimally affected by farmed genetic ancestry.
After a half a century of salmon farming, we have yet to understand how the influx of genes from farmed escapees affects the full life history of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the wild. Using scale samples of over 6900 wild adult salmon from 105 rivers, we document that increased farmed genetic ancestry is associated with increased growth throughout life and a younger age at both seaward migration and sexual maturity. There was large among-population variation in the effects of introgression. Most saliently, the increased growth at sea following introgression declined with the population's average growth potential. Variation at two major-effect loci associated with age at maturity was little affected by farmed genetic ancestry and could not explain the observed phenotypic effects of introgression. Our study provides knowledge crucial for predicting the ecological and evolutionary consequences of increased aquaculture production worldwide.
