Currently, most [...]

The distinct genetic characteristics of salmon populations in Spain are being lost as a result of climate change and human interference.  Losing distinct genetic characteristics means potentially losing salmon altogether in areas like Spain.  One major hypothesis describing why this is occurring is humans have caused straying fish (foreign fish invading areas where salmon naturally [...]
