We are deeply grateful to all the staff at the Swedish salmon hatcheries for their help with sample collections and transports. Special thanks to Elisabeth Elfving for invaluable assistance in the laboratory, to Staffan Edholm for helping out with express transports of egg and fry samples and to Jana Pickova for fruitful collaboration.
