The breeding of threatened species in captivity for release is a central tool in conservation
biology. Given gloomy predictions for biodiversity trends in the Anthropocene, captive …

The historical, political and scientific aspects of salmon hatchery programmes designed to
enhance fishery production, or to recover endangered populations, are reviewed. We start …

This book synthesizes existing knowledge of the process of domestication and how captive
breeding and management of wild and domestic animals have affected their behaviour and …

When cultured Atlantic salmon are released into nature, they compete with wild fish for food,
space, and breeding partners. As a result of morphological, physiological, ecological, and …

The effects of captivity on the behaviour of wild and domestic animals have been relatively
well studied, but little has been published on morphological changes in wild animals in …

The success and implications of hatchery release programmes are intimately tied to the
reproductive capabilities of the hatchery fish in the wild. Moreover, reproductive interactions …

In this study, we contrast brain morphology from hatchery and wild reared stocks to examine
the hypothesis that in salmonid fishes, captive rearing produces changes in brain …

We studied the ontogeny of Dicentrarchus labrax comparatively under constant rearing
temperatures of 13, 15 and 20° C. At hatching, yolk-sac larval morphometry differed …

Although zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a highly studied organism on many fields of research,
many aspects of its basic biology still elude the scientific community. Its response to …

The Chesapeake Bay has traditionally been one of North America's most productive fishing
grounds, supporting the world's largest blue crab fishery. During the last several decades …
