A microsatellite baseline for genetic stock identification of European Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)

This work forms part of the SALSEA-Merge research project (Project No. 212529) and was funded by the European Union under theme six of the Seventh Framework programme. It was also co-sponsored by the Atlantic Salmon Trust and the Total Foundation, who we thank for financial support. PMcG and JC were partly supported by the Beaufort Marine Research Award in Fish Population Genetics funded by the Irish Government under the Sea Change Programme. The work was also supported under financial support of the program of fundamental research of Presidium of RAS “Searching fundamental scientific investigations in the interests of development of the Arctic zone of Russian Federation.”
