Theoretical analysis of introgression between released fish and wild fish populations considering sex differences.

Abstract

The genetic effects of hatchery release on natural populations were studied using simple mathematical models. We focused on the effect of sex differences in the number of released fish, the contribution to natural reproduction of released fish and/or in the fitness of released fish. A method for reducing introgression is discussed and we showed that the former two factors may reduce introgression, although the most effective bias for reduction depends on stocking density and fitness. We also showed that the dynamics can have multiple stable equilibria, which may result in irreversible introgression due to high stocking density in a single year.
