Migration timing genotype as a predictor of salmon vulnerability to environmental change
In the EU-funded SAL-MOVE project, we are combining existing datasets with analysis of genomic variation to understand the environmental determinants and genetic basis of Atlantic salmon migration timing across its range in Europe and North America. The findings will be combined with future climate scenarios in a modelling framework to predict how Atlantic salmon populations will be impacted by anthropogenic change. SAL-MOVE is a collaboration between IBFC, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Dalhousie University and researchers and natural resource managers across six European countries.
