"... the degree of within river homing in all hatchery-raised fish was strongly


 associated with frequency of inherited local genes."





Note:The local, native stock of pink salmon had a high homing ability while 


the non-native stock did not.  The native, non-native cross exhibited an 


intermediate ability to home.
