Genetically based enhanced contribution guidelines for Pacific salmon populations / Salmonid Enhancement Program, Fisheries and Oceans Canada.: Fs144-76/2024E-PDF

"Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is committed to minimizing undesirable genetic effects of hatchery enhancement of salmon populations, while balancing biological and socio-economic objectives. These guidelines provide an approach to evaluate genetic influence of enhancement transparently and consistently, focusing on conservation of wild salmon as a highest priority. These guidelines are designed to support hatchery program planning and decision processes. They function as a tool to support ongoing work to establish population-based implementation approaches in combination with other existing DFO frameworks and guidelines. As new formal scientific advice is acquired, these guidelines will be updated as needed. This approach is consistent with the guiding principles on conservation and open and transparent decision making in Canada's Policy for Conservation of Wild Pacific Salmon (hereafter referred to as the Wild Salmon Policy or WSP)"--Objective, page 2.
