Evaluating genetic traceability methods for captive‑bred marine fish and their applications in fisheries management and wildlife forensics [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2016 Growing demands for marine fish products is leading to increased pressure on already depleted wild populations and a rise in aquaculture production. Consequently, more captive-bred fish are released into the wild through accidental escape or deliberate ...

Captive breeding in the endangered alpine tree frog, Litoria verreauxii alpina [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Amphibians are experiencing dramatic worldwide declines and many species are reliant on captive breeding programs to ensure continued survival. However, captive breeding in amphibians is not always successful because many species, especially ones in ...

Genetic effects of long-term captive breeding on the endangered pygmy hog [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Long-term captive populations often accumulate genetic changes that are detrimental to their survival in the wild. Periodic genetic evaluation of captive populations is thus necessary to identify deleterious changes and minimize their impact through ...

Can sexual selection theory inform genetic management of captive populations? A review [PDF]
, 2014 International audienceCaptive breeding for conservation purposes presents a serious practical challenge because several conflicting genetic processes (i.e., inbreeding depression, random genetic drift and genetic adaptation to captivity) need to be ...

Maternal behavioural analysis during a successful captive breeding of jaguars Panthera onca
Theriogenology Wild, 2023 The breeding of captive wild species can play a crucial role in their preservation. Jaguars, the largest felines in the Americas, face challenges in captivity that hinder their breeding success in zoos and conservation institutions.

Securing genetic integrity in freshwater pearl mussel propagation and captive breeding
Scientific Reports, 2021 Securing genetic integrity is of key importance in conservation-oriented captive breeding programs releasing juveniles into the wild. This is particularly true for species such as the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) for ...
