Explain Do Salmon Escape From Farms? |
|
Answer» Escapes have been DRAMATICALLY reduced since the early 1990s, and have been estimated at well below one percent in every year since 1995. A farmed salmon that escapes into the wild is POORLY adapted for SURVIVAL, and only small proportions of escaped salmon survive. A small number of farmed salmon interbreeding with a wild population has little impact because only small amounts of new GENETIC material is being added, and natural selection continues to PLAY a role.
