Soon after farming of Atlantic salmon began in Norway, a selection experiment was started in 1971. Over a 4-year period, broodstock of Atlantic salmon were sampled in 41 different rivers and localities resulting in four populations. In forming the base population (generation 0), mating was done within strains to produce full- and half-sib families. In later generations mating was done both within and between strains. Data from the first three generations of selection have been analysed to study the genetic origin of the four populations. One to three strains dominate each population. The importance of selective breeding in fish farming is stressed.
