ABSTRACT As the number of native species targeted for aquaculture and enhancement in British Columbia (BC) rises, fisheries managers must develop policies and species-specific management plans that facilitate industry expansion while protecting the integrity and fitness of wild stocks. Whereas genetic introgression of domesticated stocks with wild stocks cannot be completely eliminated, some control can be gained by limiting the collection and culture of domesticated stocks to geogr...
