| A small portion of a pink salmon population contributes
disproportionately to the next generation, and, as a consequence of year-to-year
environmental variation, the more successful portion varies unpredictably
from generation to generation. Maintenance of genetic variation is a key
to the long-term success of a population, but these studies of inter-broodyear
hybrids suggest that outbreeding depression may also occur. The source
and nature of genetic variation should be factored into aquaculture and
harvest management decisions. Bulletin of the National Research Institute
of Aquaculture 1999(Supplement 1):19-26.
