Seminar on 9 February 2012 in Stockholm:
Good or bad for Baltic salmon gene pools?

Releases of millions of salmon have been carried out for decades in the Baltic Sea. The releases compensate for lost natural reproduction due to power plant constructions in many rivers. They are considered necessary to maintain numbers of salmon in the Baltic. But scientists have warned about possible negative effects of releases on remaining native populations.

The Commission of the European Union has recently presented a proposal that includes phasing out of compensatory releases over a seven year period. What will be the effects of such a ban?

The seminar, organised by the BONUS+ project BALTGENE, will be held at the Stockholm University.
The seminar is free of charge. Lunch and coffee will be provided for the first 70 participants to register.

For registration and questions contact Dr. Anna Palmé (anna.palme@popgen.su.se)
