      This study investigated a potential genetic introgression from farmed to wild cod Gadus morhua L. in the Trondheimsfjord, Norway. During the first 2 yr of operation of a cod farm in the inner part of the fjord, 2 large ...
    • Tracing the fate of escaped farmed cod (Gadus morhua L.) in a Norwegian fjord system 

      Varne, Rebekka (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:116, Doctoral thesis, 2016)
      Summary of thesis: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the fate of escaped farmed cod and detect any introgression in the local stock. Phenotypic discrimination of wild and farmed cod, and genetic baseline values ...
