Warning of farmed salmon 'threat': the report warns of harm to wild
stocks
Escapes from fish farms constitute a "major threat" to the
wild fish
population, according to government research. [ ] The Scottish
Executive welcomed the report by the Scottish Association for Marine
Science and Napier University but is yet to comment on the findings. A
report presented to a conference organised by the Atlantic Salmon
Trust in Edinburgh two weeks ago warned that escaped salmon breed with
the wild fish and make it less likely that they will return to the
rivers to spawn.
