Details

The literature review revealed that extensive introductions of the species have taken place throughout the world and that in sorre areas self-sustaining populations have been generated which have had severe impacts on native sahnonids. In Britain, although there are a number of instances of wild breeding only two examples of self- sustaining populations have been recorded.
