On the Origins of the Negative Impact of Invasive Pink Salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha on Natural Populations of Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar (Salmonidae)
摘要
This paper considers the causes of the decline of catches of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar from the basins of the Barents and White seas. In addition to hydraulic engineering construction, timber rafting, and pollution of salmon rivers with domestic and industrial wastewater, the impact of aquaculture of this species in the form of possible changes at the genetic level and disease distribution, as well as the effect of increased volumes of approaches of pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha for spawning, can also be observed. It is necessary to develop effective technologies, including taking into account the expansion of an invasive species, Far Eastern pink salmon, to preserve and restore natural populations of Atlantic salmon in the basins of the Barents and White seas, which are an important depository of genetic material; the importance of preservation of this material increases under conditions of increasing volumes of commercial breeding.
